Description

DATE: Art Deco, c.1926

A gorgeous Art Deco silver photo frame by renowned silversmiths, Deakin & Francis. Holding over 239 years of heritage, the company was founded by a Benjamin Woolfield, nestled in Birmingham's historic jewellery quarter... And still remains there today! They were originally a business to business silversmiths, later, jewellery making for some of the worlds most iconic brands and famed for their unusual cufflinks, engine turned designs and signet rings.

This charming sterling silver photo frame features the classic engine turned finish to the front. Its almost geometric in design- created by a technique involving a specialized machine. Its made to measure a 5 x 3 image and features English hallmarks for (of course, Deakin & Francis), Birmingham and the year 1926. Its backed with a dark wood stand and fitted with a Deco style print. We'll leave this one in for the time being, as its pretty nice, but I'm sure you'd like to place your own!

If you scroll through, you'll see an image of their workshop!
