AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Refined oval tabletop photo frame in solid 925 silver, entirely handcrafted by the Giuseppe Belfiore workshop, active in Florence since 1948.
The frame is distinguished by the quality of its repoussé and chasing work, hallmarks of the Florentine goldsmithing tradition. It features an elegant border decorated with a torchon (twisted rope) motif, surmounted by a rich floral garland that culminates in an elaborate, openwork Neoclassical-style bow.
Unlike modern silver-clad (bilaminate) frames, this piece is crafted from solid silver of substantial thickness, evidenced by its impressive weight relative to its miniature size.
It bears the maker's marks and the 925 hallmark.
In excellent condition, with no structural defects or dents. There are only a few minor stains on the velvet backing (see photos).
A high-quality collector's piece, ideal for enhancing a desk or a small display area.
Dimensions: 105 x 92 x 15 mm.
Weight:
- 925 silver frame only: 68 g
- Total weight: 115 g
