<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Soki, post: 6296466, member: 79556&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>this is one of my latest finds. It‘s a very nice silver-filigree card case. I think it‘s from china, late 19th century. The Potugueses and Ottomans used similar techniques.</p><p><br /></p><p>The original box is heavily damaged, but it‘s an extra and wasn‘t pictured or mentioned. The leather seems to be snake leather, again leading to china.</p><p>It has more patina than the pictures suggest, but was definetely cleaned a while ago.</p><p>The shield has engraved initials. The case was probably made for the european market.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]418777[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]418778[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]418779[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]418780[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]418781[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
