FAQs

Victorian silver frames are characterised by heavy gauge sterling silver, elaborate hand-embossed or pierced decoration, and often feature velvet-backed stands with wooden struts.

These pieces were crafted primarily from solid sterling silver, supported internally by a wooden or thick cardboard core, and lined with velvet, silk, or moire fabric on the reverse.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks indicating the makers mark, standard silver mark, assay office town mark, and date letter corresponding to the Victorian era.

Such pieces add textural contrast and historical depth when placed on a minimalist mantelpiece, contemporary home office desk, or polished wooden sideboard.

Silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized micro-abrasive free silver polish and a soft cloth, avoiding contact with any fabric backing to prevent moisture damage.
