Description

Offered as a carefully matched duo, these two Spanish sterling silver frames capture the exact kind of contrast collectors love: one unapologetically “Plata Firmada” and ceremonial, the other modern, architectural, and quietly luminous—both united by the unmistakable presence of real .925 silver.

1) Pedro Durán — “Signed Silver” Rococo (16 × 13 cm · 250 g)
This frame is deliberately substantial, built with a thick, weighty silver border designed to give a photograph the gravity of a presentation piece. The profile reads as classic Durán: confident, robust, and richly finished, suitable for both portrait and landscape orientation.
Authentication is especially strong here: the lower edge carries the three hallmark elements associated with the maker’s most desirable signed production—the 925 fineness mark, the Pedro Durán signature, and the amphora of the silversmith—a combination that collectors recognise as a premium line and limited-series work (often cited in the trade as small runs per size/model).

2) Alcudia — Modernist Tortoiseshell-Back Frame (18 × 12.5 cm · 250 g)
In contrast, the Alcudia frame plays with modernist incision and reflection: subtle engraved lines and gentle curves that “move” under light, giving the silver a dynamic, sculptural effect without ever becoming busy. The reverse is finished in a carey (tortoiseshell-effect) backing, with a classic tab closure—an elegant, period-correct detail that pairs beautifully with contemporary interiors.

Condition
Both frames are rated 4.8/5, presenting in excellent condition with the silver surfaces clean and well-preserved, and no dents or scratches observed. Ready to display immediately—an instant upgrade for wedding portraits, family photographs, or a treasured image placed on a desk, console, or bedside table.

If you want a high-impact gift during the holiday season—something that reads as tasteful, lasting, and genuinely luxurious—sterling silver is hard to beat. This pair delivers that “kept forever” feel.
