History:
Eyeglass cases made of sterling silver were popular in the late 19th to early 20th century. Affluent individuals often used them as a combination of practicality and status symbols.
The lion hallmark could indicate British silver, and the design suggests an Art Nouveau influence, possibly from the early 1900s.
Such cases were handcrafted by silversmiths and sold in fine jewelry or optical shops.
