FAQs

British silver picture frames gained immense popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, often produced by renowned silversmiths in assay offices such as Birmingham, Sheffield, and Chester.

These frames typically feature a thin sheet of sterling silver over a wooden or papier-mache core, supported by a velvet or leather back with an easel strut.

Authenticity is verified by locating the hallmarks stamped on the silver, which usually include the makers mark, the standard mark (such as the lion passant for sterling), the assay office mark, and a date letter.

An antique silver frame adds a touch of metallic sheen and historical character when placed on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or desk alongside modern decor.

Silver frames should be cleaned gently with a specialised microfibre cloth and low-abrasion silver polish, avoiding contact with the fabric or wood backing to prevent damage.
