An English Silver Novelty Photo Frame, Miniature Furniture, George III Pole Screen.

£695    $931    €814
 
This rare silver, fully hallmarked, highly collectable English novelty piece of miniature George III furniture is a photograph frame or stand. It has been made in the form of a high quality English pole screen originally dating to 1760.
 
This very scarce item of fully hallmarked silver was made in Sheffield with a year mark for 1911 – 12. It was made by the prestigious silversmiths Roberts and Belk, who were producing fine items of silver at this time and were registered from 1892.
 
This delightful miniature pole screen stands on an elaborate tripod base decorated with foliate carvings on the knees. Rising to a turned and carved bolster stem with a plain straight pole, with an oval screen and a shaped finial above.
 
The oval screen has a square aperture to the front, and the back is slotted to take a thin cardboard and fabric lined panel to hold in place a favourite photograph, currently displaying a printed portrait taken from an early 20th century cigarette card series.
