This is a really rare and scarce card... I am sure you collectors of these cards will know what you are looking at..... you will also know that to find a card in its original box is rarer still.
To find a card of this delicate nature in beautiful original condition does not happen very often..... and you will be pleased to know I have 5 differant examples from the same deceased country house estate listed today.
The workmanship that has gone into the cards is really fabulous...so be sure to check them all out.
You may have gathered I'm a bloke.... but I can appreciate the finer things in life and I know this item is beautiful.
 
So this one.... in the stiff grey card box... slightly grubby looking and starting to fall to bits.. a torn off corner off the lid.
It has the silky material like top and lid sides.
 This has kept the card in STUNNING condition.... same condition as when it was made.

The top has hand written wording in fountain pen........ For my Darling little Baby from her loving Mother 1875.

Take the lid off carefully....you will see it has some pink tissue paper covering the top.....open that and then see the card ... its another deep example.... ....... the main back card is shaped and cream coloured... it has stilts made from concertina paper.. to give it lift and 3 dimensional look..... main paper is white and gold with pierced design of FOLIAGE in the corners and cut out LEAVES on each corner that also have a PEARL in half stuck on.....right at the bottom it has the Vesica shaped area as it has around the rest of the card.. the bottom one says LOVE on a blue and white stiff card scroll.
In the centre of this card there is a WICKER half basket of FLOWERS ... these are made of silk and what looks like real moss or grasses or both... as well as smaller silk flowers a large pink rose in the front. ....wit more lacey paper in the back ground. 
I am sure if you read this description and LOOK at my photographs which all enlarge you can SEE what I am trying to describe. 
 
This card also lifts out but there is nothing written inside at all. 

The box is 5 and 1/4 inch wide x 7 and half inch long x 1 and a half inch deep.

You will not be dissapointed with this card.
