A silver photograph frame measuring 19cm x 13.5cm dated Birmingham 1916 and made by Henry Matthews. The frame is in reasonable condition, but it does have some of the internal edging missing from the corners, also a bit of creasing of the silver.

The bottom left hand corner has some creasing just below the hallmarks, could be repaired. The silver photograph frame has a plain surround before the scrolled edge is thin and at the top has come away from the scrolled edge.
The silver photograph frame is complete and with a bit of attention from someone who knows how to restore silver objects this could easily be greatly improved.
