Item Details
This beautiful Arts and Crafts planished antique silver photograph frame is hallmarked for Birmingham 1905 although unfortunately it is impossible to read the makers mark. It is designed to hold a photograph sized up to approximately 10cm wide x 15cm high with the front window exposing a maximum image of 9.5cm wide by 14cm high. The wooden frame and silver work are indicative of early 20th-century craftsmanship and design. There is an applied oval with a much rubbed inscription that could say Raie.

ConditionThis lovely frame is in good antique condition, with the usual dinks showing its age and pedigree. It has a barely legible engraving to the silver egg shape applied to the top rail and a pin piercing the silver to left of that. Unfortunately the makers mark is virtually illegible and appears mis-struck, the hallmarks of Lion Passant, B'ham Assay and the year letter marks are clearly legible. A new rear plate silk panel has been applied to the back plate, and it has replacement glass. The wooden easel has been reattached in a different place in the past and you can see there has been a split in the wooden back, however despite that, it has the charm of a much loved hand made piece.
