How do I date a brass bed frame?

Examine the construction methods and metal components. Victorian and Edwardian examples often pair brass tubing with iron slot-in frames and castors. Stamped manufacturer marks and the complexity of the brass ornamentation also help narrow the decade of production.

How were double photo frames used?

These hinged or easel-backed objects held two distinct portrait photographs side by side. They sat upon desks, dressing tables, and mantelpieces in Victorian and Edwardian homes. Many utilised glass fronts and precious metals to display images of family members.

Are these frames made of solid gold?

Most items described with gold tones utilise brass, ormolu, giltwood, or gold applied over silver. A smaller category of items, such as lockets and pendants, consists of solid gold or gold-plated sterling silver. Checking the metal properties reveals whether the piece is solid precious metal or a gilded base.

How do I care for antique brass and ormolu?

Keep these metal surfaces away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve the finish. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth without applying harsh chemical polishes that strip thin gilding. Protecting the original lacquer or patina maintains the historical integrity of the piece.
