Sorry - I have now looked up the ARI company so now know that they are made by different manufactures.

Hi Mart

You were correct, I didn't know, I have my strengths on this planet but antiques etc is not something I am familiar with.

The only link which I managed to open was the one posted earlier for eBay France.

We are thinking that we will probably keep them and gift some but if you have even the vaguest of ideas on potential value we would be interested, on the back of one of the silver ones there was a price sticker of £89, my best guess would have been that that was bought by my late mother-in-law around 15-20 years ago as I seem to remember her collecting them from antiques fairs around that time.

Lastly (and sorry to be a pain) I'm guessing that it is only the ones which are marked as Chanel which are made by them?

Thanks again - we have been really impressed by peoples kindness and keenness to help.

Thanks

Kieron

Thank you Mart, Icedgold10 and Greenacres, I am sorry for the delay in replying I have been working.

Mart:  Sadly the link did not open, could I please ask what you searched as I had not had any luck finding any - we hoped it was Chanel but I was not 100% confident due to the slightly poor mark so didn't want to look too naive.

We have been given quite a few, they are very nice so we will probably keep them although we are limited with space so sadly most of them will stay in a box, maybe we could use them occasionally for a different wedding gift or similar.

Thank you all for giving up your time to try and help us out - we appreciate it.

Thank you Icedgold10 and Mart.

Icedgold10:  The French eBay site is opening but as yet the pictures are not opening for me - I will keep trying, thank you.

Mart:  I will try and add two pictures of the back of a selection of the frames.

Thanks again both.

Hi

I have been given a small collection of very nice picture frames (please see photo).  I have no idea of their value as I have been unable to find similar ones online.  On the back it says; MADE IN FRANCE, PEWTER, ETAIN, CHANILL OR CHANIEL OR CHANEL (the last word is poorly cast in each frame).

I would be most grateful if anyone could help us with this enquiry.

Thanks

Kieron
