This antique style Britannia Sterling silver picture frame bears the official Assay of London. It weighs 839g and measures 11 inches long, 8.75 inches wide and one inch deep. Inspired by the most popular Louis XV Style Gildwood carved frames of late 19th century France, predominantly decorated with sculptured silhouettes of 'kissing cherubs' and floral sprays, this captivating Victorian style Sterling silver picture frame depicts an assemblage of masterfully crafted cherubs within abundant floral and foliate surround. These absorbing silhouettes are rendered in repoussé technique, enriched with meticulous chiseling and texturing of silver to represent anatomically and botanically accurate details. Mounted on a solid mahogany frame and with velvet lining, this exquisite Louis XV style picture frame is sold with an authentic Press photograph of HM the Late Queen Elizabeth I, taken during her state visit to the ‘FLORIALIES’ Exhibition in Montreal. The Late Queen Mother is carrying a trio of red roses, emblematic of England. This unique Britannia Sterling silver picture frame bears the maker's initials ‘GMG’ and the official Assay of London.
