Seller: placedelagrave ✉️ (8,022) 0%, Location: Dordogne & London, GB, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 362413604737 Lovely Finest 999 Quality Hallmarked Silver London & Britannia Photograph Frame.. Beautiful Edwardian period design English silver photograph frame, the silver is of the finest quality. The hallmarks are Leopards Head Mark - London Assay Office Rare Britannia Mark  - Only for finest silver items 999 Numerical Mark  - Highest purity silver 99.9% Makers Mark:  PVF Date letter Mark The silver is beautifully embossed with a classic Edwardian period design and a vacant cartouche. The frame has a polished wooden back and strut enabling portrait photographs to be displayed,  with a genuine moire watered silk lining. Often little or no regard is given to the quality of the back that supports the silver, however some makers use cardboard backs covered by velvet which looks presentable when new, but velvet and silver polish do not mix and in time the back will perish and look tatty, soon after the silver will be reduced to its scrap value. The finest purity unalloyed 999 silver has a depth of colour not found on lower grade 925 silver items. Unlike so many on eBay now, this silver frame is not mass produced abroad but beautifully hand made, using the finest materials by one of the best English silver frame makers: PVF.
