Description
Offered as a refined pair, these two Pedro Durán sterling silver frames belong to the coveted Plata Firmada (Signed Silver) line—pieces created for Durán’s most luxurious, collector-facing production. In hand, they read like miniature silverwork panels: densely modelled Rococo foliage, acanthus scrolls and rose motifs, all executed in high relief so the surface catches light with a jewellery-like sparkle.

What makes this set especially desirable is the dialogue between scale and presence. The smaller frame (15.5 × 12 cm, 230 g) is compact yet richly articulated—ideal for intimate portraits and desk displays where detail matters. The larger frame (24 × 18.5 cm, 560 g) has a commanding visual weight: the broader silver border amplifies the ornament and turns a photograph into a statement piece for a console, mantel or bedside table.

Both frames retain their original wood-effect backs with a classic two-tab closure, and both can be displayed portrait or landscape, making the pair versatile for gifting and for styling interiors. The weights are listed individually because they matter to collectors: they reflect the substantial build and the reassuring density expected from fine Spanish sterling frames of this calibre.

Each frame carries the three hallmark elements visible on the lower edge (see photos):
• 925 — confirms sterling silver fineness
• Amphora mark — the silversmith’s official stamp
• Pedro Durán signature — associated with the maker’s premium signed series, widely regarded as limited-production and highly sought after across Europe and the USA

Condition is rated 4.8/5 (excellent vintage): the silver presents clean and bright with crisp definition to the ornament, and no knocks or scratches are apparent. A superb Christmas or wedding gift set—classic, luxurious, and unmistakably Spanish.
