Tiny Lovely 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 lightly embossed with gadroon decoration and a vacant cartouche so typical of the era. The frame has a polished wooden back and strut enabling portraight photographs to be displayed, complete with a 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. Brand new it has never been used so no dings, dents or scratches, a beautiful quality item.
