Victorian Calling
Card Cases
No Victorian lady would have
gone visiting without calling cards tucked inside an ornate little case
just for them. These are absolutely excellent calling card cases. From
top left: Incredibly detailed silhouette motif of a Victorian lady and
gentleman enameled on a heavy brass card case. The jewel-like tiny dabs
of red and green enamel look much like minute cabochon jewels. Ornate
and miniscule scrolling gold design is also eye-catching. Priced at
$145. The next card case has mother of pearl inlaid into a shell like
back ground (may even be tortoiseshell, we simply aren’t sure). Opens
with a push button, the lid then flips back. Priced at $295. The
sterling case with chain has a clip for calling cards inside, along
with springloaded slots for coins and a small mirror with a compartment
behind it. The engraved design on the front is a very nice one, hand
done, with the initial S in a diamond. The reverse has very ornate
initials hand engraved, I believe they are LCS but hard to say; priced
at $89.00.

Limoges Chocolate
Set
Though this was made about a
hundred years too late, you could nevertheless picture Marie Antoinette
using a similar set in her boudoir; Limoges styles indeed remained a
lot the same over that time period. Enormous thirty nine piece set for
serving hot chocolate, produced in the late 1800s, marked CFH / GDM
France, Ch Field Haviland Limoges. The chocolate pot has an unusual
handle, it is almost like a frying pan handle, sticking out at an
angle. The whole set is lavishly gold encrusted, and the level of tiny
detail in the gold decoration is just amazing. The background color is
somewhere between a dark fuchsia, and a light pinkish burgundy. Set
contains 1 chocolate pot, 1 cream, 1 sugar (all pictured), 9 demi cups
(two in picture). Not in picture are 1 receiver, 12 small dessert size
plates, and 12 saucers. $900.00.
