Up for bid is an elaborate pierced and chased Indian silver standing picture frame. The piece is 12 ½ inches tall and 10 1/4 inches wide and weighs 457 grams without the glass or insert.  The opening is 6 ½ inches tall by 5 ¼ inches wide, so it is not a standard size, though a 5X7 would fit.  The frame is pierced and chased from a flat piece of silver, and features peacocks at the top and elephants at the bottom.  It comes with a fitted sheet of glass and a pressboard back.  It has a long teardrop shaped hinged prop on the back.  The piece has not been monogrammed.  It is marked “SILVER” as shown.<P> 

Condition on the piece is fairly good.  There are just some minor dents and the irregularities of hand craftsmanship.  A very attractive silver frame.<P>
