Photo Frame - Early 20th Century Continental White Metal (800)

This rectangular photograph frame is very serviceable with the original glass, strong easel back stand and a vibrant mustard velvet replacing the torn and balding material it wore when we obtained it. After thoroughly checking the overall structure and making good some minor defects, we have not only renewed the velvet and replaced the careworn silk on the easel stand, but also relined the back-plate in a rich embroidered fabric to match. The metalwork itself is a delight, using a stylised leaf motif to form a simple but effective surround to your favourite photograph. Silver marked 800, likely German.
