This refined tartanware calling card case is a graceful emblem of Victorian social ritual. Designed in the traditional size for 19th-century calling cards, its gently curved edges give it an elegant silhouette, while the button release mechanism on the lid speaks to both ingenuity and fine craftsmanship.
The wooden form is richly adorned in a classic tartan pattern, the vibrant plaid lending warmth and character to an object once carried as a token of status and refinement. Within, it would have held the neatly printed cards that served as introductions, invitations, and remembrances in an age when polite society was built upon the art of presentation.
Both practical and ornamental, this tartanware case embodies the charm of a bygone era—an exquisite keepsake for collectors of Scottish tartanware and lovers of Victorian accessories.
