Description
This silver metal photo frame is scattered with raised chalices, the cup at the heart of Communion. Between them sit small rings and tiny dots, all picked out in relief across a smooth, broad border that slopes gently in towards the opening. The frame holds a 5 x 3.5in photograph upright in portrait, which suits a head and shoulders shot or a single figure from the day. It measures 17cm tall, 13cm wide and just 1cm deep, so it takes up very little room on a shelf or side table.
We see it first as a Communion keepsake: a home for the photograph that marks the occasion, whether that is a portrait taken outside church or a happy moment with family gathered round afterwards. The chalices say quietly what the occasion was, so it still looks right on a shelf years later. It makes a thoughtful gift for friends with a Communion coming up in the family, and it sits happily on a bedroom chest of drawers, a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a grandparent's dresser.
The frame is made of metal with a bright silver finish, and the chalices, rings and dots are raised from the surface so they catch the light from every angle. A black easel back holds it upright on any flat surface, so it needs no wall, no hook and no nail. To keep the finish looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch a metal finish. As a gift, it pairs well with a card, leaving the family to choose the photograph that means the most to them.
