50th Birthday Mirror Print Metal Box Photo Frame 6 x 4in - Silver

This silverplated metal box photo frame marks a 50th birthday with the words Happy 50th Birthday written across the front in flowing silver mirror print script. The frame is square, with a broad, smooth silver border around a crisp white mount, and the mount opens onto a single rectangular window for a 6 x 4in photograph in landscape. The silver lettering sits just beneath the picture, so the occasion is spelled out clearly, and the white mount keeps both the photograph and the words bright against the plating. Its square front is about 21.7cm across and it is 2.4cm deep, giving it a little more depth than a slim flat frame.

Because an easel strut at the back holds it upright, it needs no wall and no nails, and it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a bookcase shelf or a bedside table. We think it makes a thoughtful 50th birthday gift, ready for a favourite photograph from the party itself, a picture from years gone by or a snap of the family gathered together for the day. Silver sits comfortably in most rooms, from a cream living room to a grey bedroom, and the square shape lines up neatly beside other frames on a shelf or windowsill.

The frame is made from metal with a real silverplated finish, and the white mount frames the photograph with a clean edge so the picture and the silver lettering both stand out. To keep the plating looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and handle it by the edges to avoid fingerprints. When you wrap it as a present, slip a photograph in first: a picture of the one turning fifty at the celebration, or one from their younger days, turns it into a keepsake to leave out long after the cards have come down.
