Antique Sterling Silver Picture Frame - Essex Crystal

A magnificent antique sterling silver photo frame hallmarked for Chester, 1906, crafted by Stokes & Ireland Ltd — master silversmiths of the Edwardian era. This elegant frame features four hand-painted Essex crystals (reverse intaglios) depicting vivid fox hunting scenes — each miniature showing a rider in a red coat on horseback, beautifully detailed and full of life. Set within a solid silver surround with a circular photo aperture, this piece captures the refinement of Edwardian sporting tradition. The original blue velvet and wooden backing remain intact, and all hallmarks are crisp and clear.
