A BRITANNIA STANDARD REPOUSSÉ SILVER PHOTO FRAME, LONDON, 1992
Britannia Silver (.958); 507 g
An impressive Elizabeth II Britannia standard silver-mounted photograph frame, featuring the distinctive hallmarks of Richard Comyns for the renowned firm William Comyns & Sons Ltd, London, 1992. The rectangular frame is elaborately worked in high-relief repoussé, depicting a lively Neoclassical scene of frolicking putti and cherubs amidst a lush landscape of flowering vines, bullrushes, and scrolling foliage. The design culminates in a sculptural ribbon-tie cresting at the arched top. This piece represents a fine late 20th-century revival of the ornate Victorian aesthetic, executed in the superior Britannia silver standard and finished with a classic velvet-lined easel back.
