FAQs

Victorian silver frames are characterised by elaborate ornamentation, often featuring floral motifs, scrolls, and cherubs, reflecting the heavy industrial and artistic manufacturing capabilities of the 19th century.

These frames were typically crafted from solid sterling silver, often backed with wood such as mahogany or oak, and supported by velvet or leather easel struts.

Authenticity is verified by checking for British hallmarks, including the makers mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, the town mark, and the date letter corresponding to the assay office records.

They can be placed on mantelpieces, side tables, or writing desks to add a layer of metallic texture and historical contrast to contemporary minimalist or traditional schemes.

Silver should be cleaned infrequently using a non-abrasive, high-quality silver cloth to remove tarnish while preserving the original patina and avoiding damage to delicate embossed details.
