AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A small Edwardian silver photograph frame by John Edward Wilmot, Birmingham, 1901.

Of shaped rectangular form, the silver front richly embossed and chased with scrolling foliage and flowers on textured grounds, centred by a rose beneath a crown, the lower corners with further floral sprays. The lower border struck with the maker’s mark JW, Birmingham assay mark, lion passant and date letter b for 1901, and further stamped RD 284931 for the registered design.

Of miniature proportions, measuring approximately 8 × 6 cm, the frame was intended for a small portrait photograph and retains its glass.

The silver displays minor surface wear, marks and patination consistent with age, with the relief decoration remaining well defined. The reverse shows considerable age-related wear and losses to the covering, with rubbing, flaking and deterioration particularly around the edges. The rear support is present but does not currently hold the frame in an upright position. Please study the photographs carefully as they form an integral part of the description.
