A pair of small Art Deco picture frames made from silver, glass, and fabric in a silver colour stand ready to display cherished photographs. Each rectangular piece presents curved borders, an engine-turned geometric pattern, and an oval cartouche at the base. The front apertures are glazed, protecting the grey fabric inserts visible underneath, while solid English oak backs incorporate folding easel stands to support each frame upright. Fully hallmarked for Chester 1929 by the silversmith Robert Pringle and Sons, the silver exhibits polished surfaces with subtle signs of age. Each frame measures 13.7 cm high, 11.1 cm wide, and 2.5 cm deep. Designed in an Art Deco glamour style, these decorative accessories suit placement in a domestic setting on a bedside table, desk, or mantelpiece. Their compact proportions allow them to sit neatly alongside other tabletop items while displaying family portraits or art prints. The combination of engraved silver and warm oak timber provides a balanced display piece for traditional and contemporary interiors alike.

FAQs

Art Deco picture frames are defined by linear geometry, symmetrical proportions, and stylized surface ornament. Originating in the 1920s and 1930s, designs often feature stepped borders, engine-turned patterns, and sleek architectural contours.

Period frames were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, mounted onto dense wood or velvet backings with foldable easel struts for tabletop display.

Authentic period pieces usually bear British hallmarks or maker marks indicating silver purity and date of manufacture. Surface techniques like fine engine turning, combined with characteristic geometric shapes, further confirm the era.

Arrange small silver frames in pairs or balanced groupings on a bedside table, desk, or mantelpiece. The metallic surface complements both contemporary monochromatic palettes and traditional timber surfaces.

Clean silver surfaces gently using a soft, non-abrasive silver polishing cloth to remove oxidisation. Avoid submerging the frame in water or exposing the backing materials to moisture.
