Discover a unique piece of Links of London’s corporate heritage with this vintage silver-plated card holder, commissioned by Renault in the early 2000s as part of a limited run of premium corporate gifts.
This elegant card case features a solid box-style construction with a discreet spring-loaded steel mechanism, allowing you to store and release 1–3 credit or debit cards with ease. Features a slot in one end allowing cards to slide in and.out when the spring holder is pressed. Thinner business cards also fit comfortably, making it ideal for professional use.
Finished in gleaming silver plate and branded with a small “Links of London” stamp on the back, this item has been professionally polished to a mirror finish. It remains in unused condition with only minor age-related tarnish, now removed to restore its original brilliance.
Housed in its original Links of London storage wallet (in near-new condition), the piece also comes with a rare Renault presentation box. While the box shows signs of age and slight creasing from decades in storage, it adds vital provenance to this piece’s backstory.
Measuring 93mm long x 57mm wide x 7mm thick, with a card slot width of 55mm and a front display window of 40mm x 22mm, this is both a conversation piece and a functional accessory. The Renault logo on the box corresponds with their early 2000s branding, placing this piece likely around the 2000–2001 launch of their innovative keyless entry card technology — offering a fascinating link to automotive and design history.
This rare card holder represents a time when Links of London was a leading supplier of luxury corporate gifts — and provides a snapshot of the elegance, craftsmanship, and storytelling that continues to inspire our work today.
