Year: 1908

A large Russian, silver photograph frame of rectangular form with a stylised flowerhead rim to the undecorated frame.
The item is mounted on a blue canvas backing, with one side revealing a Russian silver hallmark. The hallmark on this large photograph frame is of a lady's head alongside the number 84. This indicates that the silver purity level is 84 parts silver per 100 parts. This is lower than English silver, which has to be at least 92.5 parts silver per 100, but was the standard grade of purity in Russia during this period. This mark was used from 1908 until the Russian Revolution in 1917, which gives us a narrow timeline to indicate when this photograph frame was made.
