FAQs

Victorian silver frames, particularly those produced in the late 19th century, often featured elaborate repousse work influenced by earlier historical revival styles such as the Baroque and Rococo periods.

These items were typically crafted from solid sterling silver using hand-chased and repousse techniques, backed with materials like wood, velvet, or leather, and supported by a hinged easel stand.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hallmarks for the makers mark, city assay office, standard mark (such as the lion passant for sterling), and date letter, alongside period-appropriate construction methods.

They can be integrated into contemporary spaces by placing them on mantelpieces or side tables to introduce metallic texture, contrasting the ornate craftsmanship with clean architectural lines.

Silver should be cleaned infrequently using a specialised non-abrasive silver cloth to maintain the natural oxidisation in recessed areas, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage the finish.
