This large portrait picture frame is from the Art Deco period of 1910, made from English solid silver with a glass front. The piece shows a silver colour with an all-over engine-turned decoration comprising a fine geometric pattern along its rectangular border. The solid silver exhibits a polished metallic finish, while the glass front protects the grey fabric visible behind the aperture. A folding easel stand is incorporated into the solid oak backing. The solid silver surface displays hallmarks for the Chester assay office from the year 1914 along with the maker's mark for Stokes & Ireland Ltd. In practical terms, the frame measures 24.4 cm high, 18.1 cm wide and 2.5 cm deep. The item sits on a flat surface and finds use in a home today on a sideboard top to display photographs.

FAQs

Engine-turned silver photograph frames feature precise, repeating geometric patterns engraved into the metal surface using a specialised rose engine lathe, a technique popularised during the late Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco eras.

These frames typically consist of a sterling silver or silver-plated facade mounted onto a solid wooden backing, often covered in dark velvet or leather, with a glass pane protecting the picture insert.

Authentic English silver frames display official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a makers mark, a town mark, and a date letter stamped along the outer edge or base.

Position silver frames on a mantelpiece, console table, or writing desk alongside contrasting textures such as dark timber, leather-bound books, or modern ceramics to add refined metallic accents.

Gently wipe the metal surface with a soft, lint-free silver polishing cloth, avoiding chemical dips or abrasive creams that can accumulate within the intricate engine-turned grooves or damage the cloth backing.
