Pearly, patterned, and made to be collected. This card case is inlaid with a harlequin pattern of mother of pearl that shifts from pink to green in the light, framed by a border of iridescent abalone shell. Cases like this were carried to deliver calling cards in 19th-century society. Gather a few on a tray or a stack of books for a treasured collection that catches the light from every angle. Circa 1860 to 1890.
