Fine Quality Antique English Boulle Photograph Frame by Vickery, London

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A top notch late Victorian Boulle photo frame by a top notch London retailer, John Collard Vickery. Collard and his then partner, Arthur Thomas Hobbs, bought up the long established business of William Griggs, a stationer and bookseller at 183, Regent Street in c.1890 and expanded the stock to include jewellery, dressing cases, gold and silver lines.

The partnership with Hobbs was a short lived one and was dissolved in 1891. Now on his own, Vickery went from strength to strength expanding the Regent Street premises to include, at first, No.181 and then No.179 by the year 1900. He went on to obtain the royal warrants of HM the King, HM the Queen, HM Queen Alexandra, TRH the Prince and Princess of Wales, HM the King of Portugal, HM the King of Spain, TM the King and Queen of Denmark, HM the Queen of Norway, HM the King of Sweden and the Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig Holstein.

The frame is of superb quality with a boulle (tortoiseshell and cut brass) front and an inlaid brass line around the thick mahogany frame. The back has a fine folding easel stand gold printed with the Vickery stamp.

Heirloom quality in excellent undamaged condition. The frame measures 6 1/4" x 5 1/2" with a glazed opening measuring 3 7/8" x 2 5/8".
