Description
This silverplated photo frame marks a first Holy Communion with quiet grace, pairing a satin silver border with a small chalice and host set into the lower corner. The window holds a 6 x 4in photograph in portrait and sits towards the left, so the wider border on the right gives the motif room. The host carries the Chi-Rho symbol above the cup, a simple and recognisable sign of the day. Made in metal with a soft silver finish, the frame is close to square, at 18cm tall, 17cm wide and 11cm deep.
It is a frame for the picture you most want to keep in view from the day, whether that is a portrait in the church doorway, a smile at the family meal afterwards or a quiet moment before the service. We think it sits most naturally on a bedroom shelf, a dressing table or a sideboard, somewhere it can be seen every day and picked up now and then. As a Communion gift for friends it makes a thoughtful keepsake, one that will still mean something long after the cards have been put away, and the silver finish sits comfortably with most rooms and colour schemes.
The frame stands on its own easel back, so it needs no wall, no nails and no fixings, and the dark backing keeps it neat when seen from behind or from the side. The silverplated finish has a soft satin sheen rather than a mirror shine, which suits a gentle and considered keepsake. To care for it, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes, which can wear plating over time. Choose a favourite photograph from the day, set it in the frame and it is ready to wrap and give.
