AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
4 graceful portrait frames (2 Italian from Florence, 2 English from London) in 925 silver.
2 are Italian portrait frames, in 925 silver, mid-20th century, stamped, in the Art Nouveau style.
The portrait frames consist of a front part (with glass) covered in hand-hulled embossed silver, stamped, decorated with floral motifs, specifically relief leaves and flowers, and a back part covered with brown velvet.
Mid-20th century (about 1950-1960). Very small signs of wear.
Dimensions:
- larger frame: height 20.5 cm, width 15 cm (frame adaptable vertically and horizontally);
- smaller frame: height 18 cm, width 13.5 cm (adaptable only vertically).
Stamping:
- star (symbol of the Italian Republic after 1946),
- laboratory or master silversmith number ( ..., 338);
- province (both FI, Florence);
- title of 925 silver.
The other 2 frames, 925 silver, are small English pieces from the city of London:
- one heart-shaped, height 8.5 cm, width 6.5 cm, originating from the city of London, year ? (running lion, leopard’s head, letter L).
- the last frame is double: height 7 cm, width 11 cm, originating from the city of London, year 1970 (running lion, leopard’s head, letter P). Both parts of the same frame bear the same hallmarks.
Gross weight with case and packaging about 2 kg.
Small signs of wear.
Standard shipping, careful packing (see reviews).
I do not ship to the East, United States, Canary Islands, Israel due to very high shipping costs.
