The hinged double construction allows the frames to be moved and angled as needed for optimal viewing in a living room, study, or bedroom setting.

FAQs

A Victorian sterling silver double photograph frame is a two-panel hinged frame crafted from hallmarked silver, designed to display two portraits side-by-side on a flat surface.

These frames were typically constructed using a stamped or pierced sterling silver fascia mounted onto a solid wooden or velvet-covered backing, complete with glass aperture covers and brass hinges.

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

Place the frame on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bedside table alongside structured modern ceramics or books to create a balanced contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

Dust the silver and velvet surfaces gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply a specialized silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish while avoiding liquid polishes that can seep into the textile backing.
