Description

A George V era circular silver photo frame with clear hallmarks for London 1918 and makers mark for Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd. This good quality silver frame has engine turned decoration around the front of the frame in a linear pattern with wavy edges, interspersed with small dots, with a plain silver inner rim. The plain silver sides wrap around the edges. The back reveals a silver retainer, and hinged keeper, also hallmarked. The back is the original linen easel, and the silk front lining is engraved in gold with the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths name, address, royal insignia and inscription By Appointment to HM the King. It is unusual to find such original features. The condition of the silver is excellent though the easel back is in keeping with the age.

George V era silver photo frames typically feature refined geometric outlines, circular or rectangular shapes, and subtle surface embellishments such as engine turning or delicate reeding. Produced between 1910 and 1936, these pieces often combine traditional craftsmanship with early twentieth-century decorative simplicity.

These frames were typically constructed using a sterling silver outer fascia, standard glass fronts, and wooden or fabric-covered backings with easel stands. The silver component was struck with full British hallmarks denoting purity, location, and date.

Authentic British silver frames bear stamped hallmarks that include the makers mark, the sterling lion passant purity mark, an assay office symbol such as the leopards head for London, and a specific date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

A circular silver frame can be positioned on a sideboard, bedside table, or desk alongside modern ceramics or books to create a layered vignette. Metallic silver surfaces introduce reflective highlights to neutral or dark interior palettes.

Dust the frame regularly with a clean, soft microfiber cloth and polish gently using a specialist silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Avoid dipping liquids or abrasive cleaners that could damage the fabric backing or seep behind the glass.
