Description from the seller
The frame is an English photo frame in sterling silver (or 925 silver), produced in England. The style is typically Victorian, characterized by an ornate, repoussé design.
Main features
Material: It is made of sterling silver 925, an alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver.
Origin: The product was 'Made in England' (Made in England), as indicated on the label.
Style: Features a classic, detail-rich design, common in Victorian-style silverware.
Support: The back is typically made of a different material, often velvet or mahogany wood, to give the structure its strength.
The visible hallmarks on a silver object or on silver-plated items indicate important information about its origin and purity.
Interpretation of the Punches
BSCL: It is likely that this is the manufacturer's mark (sponsor's mark), which identifies the company or craftsman who presented the object for analysis.
Lion Passant (Lion Passant): The symbol of a lion walking with one paw raised is the standard British mark that guarantees sterling silver (purity of at least 925 parts per 1000). Its presence is an indicator of solid silver.
Castle/Corona: A three-towered castle is the emblem of the Edinburgh Control Office. In other contexts, a crown has been the mark for Sheffield until 1974.
Letter "U": A single letter, often inside a shield of a specific shape, indicates the exact year in which the object was tested (date letter). The shape of the letter and of the shield varies depending on the inspection office and the alphabetic cycle used.
A collectible piece in perfect condition
