Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This 1920s Art Deco picture frame takes the form of a rectangular sterling silver mount with a stepped border, an engine-turned geometric pattern, and a glazed viewing aperture. The reverse comprises a solid oak backing fitted with a folding easel stand for tabletop display. Hallmarks for Birmingham 1922 and the maker's mark for William Neale Ltd appear on the metalwork. The piece measures 22.9 cm high, 17.8 cm wide, and 2.5 cm deep overall. Suitable for domestic settings today, the frame functions well placed upon a sideboard top, desk, or mantelpiece to display a portrait photograph. The combination of bright silver and dark wood brings an understated period accent to contemporary interiors, whether in a study, living room, or hallway. Minimal surface wear corresponds with age and use, maintaining the integrity of the antique construction.

FAQs

Art Deco silver picture frames from this period typically feature refined geometric profiles, clean linear borders, and engine-turned surface patterns. Moving away from the ornate floral motifs of the Edwardian era, these frames emphasise symmetry, modernism, and polished surfaces.

Silver picture frames from this period generally consist of a thin sheet of sterling silver pressed or hand-worked over a wooden or composition core, paired with a solid oak or velvet-lined backing and an easel leg support for tabletop display.

Authentic British silver frames display official assay office marks, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a town mark, a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

A silver Art Deco frame can be styled on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or desk alongside modern monochrome photography or abstract artwork. Grouping silver frames of varying sizes creates an engaging metallic accent within minimalist or modern classic settings.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth. To remove tarnish, apply a specialized silver polishing cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive pastes that could damage the wood backing or strip silver plating.
