{"product_id":"english-silverplate-circular-photo-frame-edwardian","title":"Antique English Silverplate Circular Photo Frame, Edwardian, Ca. 1905","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA circular electroplated photo frame in the plain Edwardian manner, with a wide rolled molding, convex dome glass, and an oval aperture sized for a portrait photograph. The form was at its most popular between roughly 1900 and 1915, when the dressing table portrait frame was a standard of English domestic life and a conventional gift for engagements and weddings. This example has no engraving or applied ornament, which is characteristic of the cleaner Edwardian taste that had moved away from the busier surface decoration of the late Victorian decades. The original turned oak back and classic two-leg easel stand are intact and functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Type | Circular photo frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Material | Electroplated base metal, convex dome glass, turned oak back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Origin | England, likely Birmingham\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Age | Circa 1900 to 1915, Edwardian period\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Style | Edwardian, plain rolled molding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Outer Size | 6 in H x 6 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Aperture | 4.25 in diameter, oval\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Back | Original turned oak with A-frame easel stand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Marks | No hallmarks; silverplate was not required to carry English assay marks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe frame is in good antique condition with honest age-appropriate wear. The silverplated surface is bright and has been polished at some point, and retains good overall coverage with light scuffing and surface scratches consistent with age and use. There are no significant losses to the plating and no dents or deformations to the molding. The convex dome glass is present and intact with minor dust and age spotting visible from certain angles. The turned oak back is sound and retains its original finish, showing wear at the edges and some darkening consistent with age. The A-frame easel stand is original, functional, and stable. The frame stands correctly without wobbling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51440357802262,"sku":"AMD-03175","price":240.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/June_Enland_2026-3212.jpg?v=1781721357","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/english-silverplate-circular-photo-frame-edwardian","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
