This is an attractive Vintage Sterling Silver Fronted Photo Frame for a 5in x 3.5in picture. The upright frame has an embossed design of scrolls and flowers all the way round with a blank cartouche in the centre at the top. The sides and back are covered in dark blue velvet.

The photo frame was made in London for John Bull Ltd and dates to 1987. Established in 1953, John Bull was a gift and antique shop in London’s prestigious New Bond Street. They commissioned pieces of silverware to their own designs which they sold alongside antique and vintage pieces. Their mark is most commonly seen on photo frames but is also found on candlesticks, napkin rings and christening sets.

Condition is very good, with just a little bit of fraying to the velvet on the four corners plus the superficial surface wear that you would expect with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The overall dimensions of the frame are 18cm / 7.1ins high by 13.4cm / 5.3ins across and it weighs in at 216g / 7.6oz.

The hallmarks, on the bottom left of the frame, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the leopard's head assay mark for London, the date letter N for 1987 and the J B Ld sponsors' mark for John Bull Ltd.
