The silver is lightly embossed with no decoration at all save for a raised edge border.The frame has a polished wooden back and strut enabling portrait photographs to be displayed, with a genuine moire watered silk lining.Often little or no regard is given to the quality of the back that supports the silver, however some makers use cardboard backs covered by velvet which looks presentable when new, but velvet and silver polish do not mix and in time the back will perish and look tatty, soon after the silver will be reduced to its scrap value.The finest purity unalloyed 999 silver has a depth of colour not found on lower grade 925 silver items.
