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.

An Edwardian sterling silver photo frame displays a square shape with a floral and scroll decorative border and an empty cartouche at the top. The piece incorporates chased repousse scrollwork, floral embossing, and a central circular aperture surrounded by a polished silver ring. The front mounting is covered in dark blue velvet, and the piece measures 17.8 cm high and 17.8 cm wide. In a contemporary home, this frame suits placement on a mantelpiece or side table to display photographs. The easel back provides stable desktop support, while the dual display configuration allows for either a circular or square presentation. The sterling silver reflects light from nearby sources, bringing traditional Edwardian craftsmanship into living rooms or studies.

FAQs

Edwardian silver picture frames, produced between 1901 and 1910, frequently feature elaborate repousse work, scrolling foliage, and classical or Neo-Rococo motifs. Unlike heavier Victorian designs, Edwardian silver decorative arts often incorporated lighter scrollwork set against velvet or leather backings.

These frames typically consist of a die-stamped or repousse sterling silver front mounted onto an easel-backed wooden or velvet-covered board. Glass protects the inner photograph, which is positioned within a stamped central bezel or aperture.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmarks stamped by an assay office, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark. The presence and clarity of these hallmarks verify both age and metal purity.

Display the frame on a mantelpiece, bedside table, or desk alongside modern ceramics or books to create subtle visual contrast. Grouping several silver frames of varying scales creates a curated tabletop arrangement.

Lightly dust the silver border and velvet backing using a soft microfibre cloth or horsehair brush. Clean tarnished areas with a specialised silver polishing cloth rather than liquid chemical dips, which can stain the velvet backing.
