Victorian Sterling Silver Photo Frame
This frame has a sterling silver surround.  It is of oblong from with rounded corners.  I believe the glass is original as it has bevelled edges which is quite unusual.  The backing to the aperture is covered in dark blue silk.  The back or the frame would originally have had a velvet covering but, unfortunately, this has worn down to the base material and the strut stand has been added more recently and is made from hard board.  The edge of the frame is hallmarked for Birmingham 1897 with the maker’s mark of S. Blanckensee & Sons.Ltd. Although this frame is in good condition for its age and usable, there are a number of issues to bring to your attention.   There is a bruise across the right-hand side and a similar one opposite with another underneath and a further five smaller ones giving a dimpled effect to this area.  Along the top, there are 6 small dints.  To the bottom, there is a kink to the inner part of the surround which caused a light bruise across it.  Around the edges, there is some general dinting and two of the nails are missing although the surround remains secure.  As mentioned above, the stand is a replacement and the velvet has worn down to the lining so it’s a brownish colour with a fair bit of silver polish staining.  The glass has no visible chips or cracks although there are nibbles around the edges which are hidden behind the surround.  I’ve tried to show all aspects in the photos below and they are reflected in the asking price for this piece.

Payment is required within 72 hours of committing to buy an item or an auction ending. Paypal is the preferred method of payment and the only option open to Overseas buyers.  Cheques or Postal Orders are accepted from UK buyers subject to clearance of funds which normally takes about 5 working days after receipt.  Buyers who wish to collect in person may pay in advance through Paypal or in cash upon collection.

I endeavour to ship items within 2 working days of cleared payment.  All packages. except very low value items, are sent by Royal Mail Signed-For service and have adequate insurance built into the postage cost.  I do not make any profit on postage/insurance costs and don’t charge for packaging.  To ensure items are safe in transit, I package them very well and, unfortunately, this does increase mailing costs somewhat.  All packages must be signed for upon receipt. Failure to do so or collect a package will result in it being returned to me and the buyer will be responsible for the cost of re-sending the item.  Any Import Duties, Taxes and other charges due on International purchases are the sole responsibility of the buyer. I am happy to combine postal charges for multiple purchases and have a policy of automatically refunding any overpaid postage if I have over-estimated it.

My aim is to try to ensure that items I sell fully meet the buyer's expectation and, for this reason, I provide photos of all aspects of items on sale and give a very detailed written description and condition report. PLEASE NOTE that all items sold are used and are either Antique or Vintage which means there will be some very light surface abrasions caused through cleaning and use.

If a buyer purchases an item and it does not match its description or photos, I will give a no quibble refund for the cost of the item and the shipping costs incurred. If, however, a buyer changes his/her mind about a purchase, then he/she may also return it for a full refund of the item's cost but the outward and return shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer.

Should you wish to return an item, please contact me as soon as possible after receiving it.  To qualify for a refund, Items must be returned to the seller within 14 days of the date of receipt.  Return postage must be by the same, secure method as that originally used to dispatch the item to the buyer which will normally be a Signed-For Mail Service with adequate compensation included.  Once I have safely received the item and checked that it is unused and in the same condition as it was when it was originally dispatched, the relevant refund will be made to the buyer’s Paypal account.

I source only high quality antique and vintage silver for resale online at wholesale prices. I deliberately set start prices for auction items above the current scrap value to ensure that these beautiful items go to a good home and not the melting pot. Through selling online, I maintain low overheads and try to set 'Buy It Now' prices for fine pieces at a lower rate than those charged by most antique shops and fairs.  I am very passionate about the pieces I sell and am most happy when they go to a new home where they’ll be fully appreciated.

If you have any questions whatsoever about an item I am selling, please feel free to contact me at [email address removed by eBay] and I will be more than happy to answer them.  Should you wish to collect or view any items, I am located in Willesden Green, London NW2.
