Antique Pierced Silver Photo Frame – Henry Matthews - 1900

A lovely highly pierced silver photograph frame that has had a thorough refurbishment and is presented swathed in a dark green velvet that brings out the beauty of Henry Matthews team’s work. The easel back is similarly covered to the exterior surface, with green leather to the inside surface. The inside back plate (where the photograph is placed) is also covered in matching green leather. The frame will accommodate a photograph up to 13 x 9cm. Please be aware that this frame is over 120 years old and therefore bears signs of its previous life. In this case there are several holes in the silver bearing witness to the zealous polishing of previous owners. However, we believe that the finish of this frame is preferable to ‘silver flooding’ that can be used to cover some defects, but may also result in the loss of detail. Either way, if you are looking for a frame with presence and character, you should consider this one
