FAQs

Victorian silver photo frames are characterised by ornate detailing, often featuring intricate repousse, pierced scrollwork, or floral motifs reflecting the decorative tastes of the 19th century.

These frames were typically constructed with a sterling silver front sheet attached to a wooden backing framework, often lined with velvet, silk, or moire fabric, and supported by a hinged wooden easel strut.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmark stamps indicating the assay office, silver purity standard, and date letter, alongside makers marks stamped directly onto the silver rim.

Position the piece on a polished wooden console or mantelpiece to create a focal point, pairing its metallic lustre with contemporary minimalist objects for a balanced, eclectic aesthetic.

Clean the silver using a soft microfibre cloth and a reputable, non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to avoid getting moisture or polish on the delicate fabric backing.
