Strictly Vetted Dealers

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 pair of Edwardian picture frames dates from the period 1903 to 1904 and carries hallmarks for Birmingham alongside maker marks for Sydney and Co. Each piece comprises a sterling silver front with open floral scrollwork, foliate repoussé decoration, a vacant cartouche to the pediment, and an oval shaped aperture displaying green fabric. The groundwork and easel backs consist of dark brown mahogany timber, and the overall items measure 20 cm by 14.3 cm with internal apertures of 13.5 cm by 9 cm. Both items are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. These decorative picture frames suit placement on a mantelpiece in an English country house interior to display treasured photographs. The detailed repoussé silver borders contrast against the dark wood structure and textured green centres, creating a traditional focal point for living spaces or studies. The built-in easel backs provide stable support for tabletop display.

FAQs

Produced between 1901 and 1910, Edwardian silver photograph frames frequently feature elaborate repousse metalwork with floral, scroll, or foliate motifs, mounted onto velvet or hardwood easel backings.

These frames typically consist of a stamped or hand-hammered sterling silver sheet mounted over a solid hardwood or easel-backed wooden structure, often lined with velvet or silk.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmarks detailing the makers mark, silver purity standard, assay office mark, and a date letter corresponding to the early 20th century.

Displaying a pair of ornate silver frames on a contemporary console table, sideboard, or mantelpiece creates a refined contrast against minimalist or dark academia backdrops.

Gently polish the silver surface using a soft silver-polishing cloth, avoiding harsh liquid polishers that could seep into or damage the timber backing and fabric lining.
