FAQs

Art Nouveau silver frames from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are defined by flowing, organic lines, whiplash curves, and naturalistic forms. Silversmiths of this period favoured fluid asymmetry and decorative relief work inspired by nature.

These frames typically consist of a thin sheet of sterling silver or silver plate stamped with a design, mounted onto a wooden backboard. The reverse and supporting easel arm are commonly covered in velvet or polished dark wood.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces feature official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark, a town mark, a makers mark, and a specific date letter. The presence of stamped serial numbers or maker initials near the lower edge also indicates original production.

Place the item individually or grouped with contemporary artwork on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bedside table. The reflective metallic surface contrasts well against matte painted walls or dark timber surfaces.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and polish gently using a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Avoid submerging the frame in liquid cleaners or using abrasive chemical pastes, as these can damage the fabric backboard and wood backing.
