| Reference Number: Avaluer:43181375 |
ANTIQUE WOODEN CALLING CARD CASE WITH ORIENTALIST OUTER DESIGN. NICE LITTLE GENUINE ANTIQUE CALLING CARD CASE. IT IS MADE FROM AN INNER SANDAL OR BALSA WOOD MATERIAL. THIS IS COVERED BY A CLOTH INNER PINK AND OUTSIDE BY A GREEN BROWN AND GOLD DESIGN. THE OUTSIDE TO MY EYE LOOKS INFLUENCED BY A MIDDLE EASTERN OR INDIAN MOTIF. THIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS HAS INTRICATE PATTERN WITH OTTOMAN? SUNBURSTS TO EACH CORNER. AGE-WISE IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS RAJ /ORIENTALIST INFLUENCED SO I WOULD S...AY 1860-1900 IN DATE. IT DOES HAVE USAGE AND STORAGE ISSUES . THERE IS LOSS OF MATERIAL TO BASE AND INNER CASE DUE TO USE AND AGE. FURTHER THE TWO HALVES DO NOT QUITE CLOSE TIGHTLY. I HAVE SHOWN THESE ON THE PHOTOS INCLUDED. THIS PIECE IS IN UNCLEANED FOUND CONDITION. Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class.
