Casa Escasany

Casa Escasany was founded in 1892 as a jewellery business by brothers Ramón and Miguel Escasany, who had arrived from Cardona (Spain). The name became established with branches around Argentina. By means of illustrated catalogues, Casa Escasany became a household name associated with weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and baptisms, for which they provided silverware and commemorative jewellery.

The novelty pack shown here was given away to customers. Items from the catalogue adorn each card.

The pack has 40 cards, in a Spanish-suited format. As would be expected from a silversmith, the design details are excellent! c.1930s
