Description

A lovely very fine quality Victorian silver pocket double photograph frame, hinged and with locking clasp and hanging loop to attach to a chain. Opening to reveal two stunning panels of red guilloche enamel with geometric diamond design and inset with oval silver frames to hold the pair of photographs.

Hallmarked for Chester 1894, makers Brockwell & Son (Henry Titterton Brockwell). The edge of the locket is also marked with the retailer mark "A. Barrett & Sons 63-64 Piccadilly. W". Partial marks also to the silver frames holding the enamel panels in place and the loop.

It measures 8.5cm (3 3/8") wide when fully opened and 5.1cm (2") high, excluding the hanging loop and clasp. It measures 4.5cm (1 3/4") by 1cm (3/8") closed. The apertures measure 2.8cm (1 1/8") top to bottom and 2.1cm (12/16") wide. It weighs a very substantial 70g / 2.3 troy ounces.

In excellent condition: a couple of very minor dings to the outside only and slight rubbing of the lower part of the hallmarks. The inside is in super condition with the enamel perfect and the silver frames, inner oval and outer rectangular fitting firmly. The hinge is smooth and firm and the clasp is secure. The aperture coverings please note are understandably plastic not glass.

Date of Manufacture

The Fancy Fox has dated this Silver Double Photo Frame to the Victorian era.

FAQs

A travelling photograph frame is a compact, hinged folding frame designed for portability during travel in the 19th century, allowing individuals to carry portraits of loved ones.

These pieces typically consist of a solid sterling silver framework combined with vitreous enamel decoration, often featuring guilloche engraving beneath translucent coloured layers.

Authentic pieces bear genuine hallmarks indicating the assay office, silver standard, and makers mark, alongside period construction techniques such as hand-cut bezels and genuine glass covers rather than modern acrylic.

Placed on a dressing table, mantelpiece, or desk, these frames add a touch of historical craftsmanship and metallic accent to contemporary interior spaces.

Silver components require gentle cleaning with a specialised non-abrasive polish, avoiding contact with the enamel surface, which should be wiped only with a soft, dry cloth.
