Description
This silverplated photo frame carries a raised chalice and a sprig of wheat across its cream face, two symbols that suit a Communion day. It is a square frame, 15.5cm tall and 15.5cm wide, and 1cm deep, so it takes up little room on a shelf. The opening holds a 5 x 3.5in photograph in portrait and sits to one side, leaving room for the chalice and wheat down the left of the frame. The silver relief picks out the ears of wheat and the curve of the cup against the soft cream for a quiet, devotional look.
We think of it first as a Communion gift. It keeps a photograph from the day where it will be seen often: the child in their outfit, or the family together after the service. It suits a bedroom shelf, a bedside table or a sideboard in the living room, and the cream tone sits comfortably beside warm woods and painted furniture. It also makes a kind present from friends of the family who want to mark the occasion with something more lasting than a card. The portrait opening takes a 5 x 3.5in print, a standard size that is easy to have printed.
The frame is made of silverplated metal, with a cream face, silver relief and a black backing. An easel stand on the back lets it stand on a flat surface, so it needs no wall. Small swivel clips hold the back in place when you change the picture. To care for it, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe it with a barely damp cloth, then dry it straight away. Keep polish and anything abrasive off the cream finish. For gifting, we like to slip a printed photograph from the day inside before wrapping, so it is ready to display the moment it is opened.
