Sterling Silver Photograph Frame by Lawrence Emanuel - Antique George V (1910)

Description

This exceptional antique sterling silver photograph frame has a waisted serpentine form with a domed upper portion and an oval internal window, all in the classic Edwardian style.

The surface of this photo frame is plain and embellished with panels of pierced scrolling decoration to the upper and lower portions.

This impressive Lawrence Emanuel silver frame is fitted with a velvet back and hinged strut, secured with two silver swivel catches in addition to a shaped bracket support to the upper portion; the decorative bracket piece indicates the high quality of the piece.

The body and strut of the frame have been recovered in green velvet replicating the same appearance as the original covering.

This fine antique piece is fitted with a removable glass panel.

Frames such as this, in the classic Edwardian style, are highly desirable.

NOTE: The majority of such frames have a wood lining to the posterior surface; it is a sign of quality to have an unlined, solid silver formation.
