Description
This christening photo frame sets a single oval picture beside a heartfelt blessing, all on a white front with a gently arched top. Across the top it reads "Christening Day", and to the left runs the verse "May God send his little angels to bless you and watch over you on your Christening Day and forever." A silver cross with a small heart at its centre sits beneath the words, and a silver surround frames the oval opening, which takes a 4 x 3in photograph. Its front is 17.4cm along the longer side and 14cm along the shorter, and it is a slim 1.2cm deep.
Because it stands on its own easel stand, it needs no wall and no fixings, so it settles easily on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a bedside table. Its compact size suits a windowsill or a mantelpiece too, where the white and silver sit quietly alongside other keepsakes. We think it makes a thoughtful christening gift for a little one up to three years old, a way to keep a first portrait from the day close by as they grow. Choose a photograph of the service, a family group by the font or a sleepy moment in the christening gown, and the verse beside it does the rest.
The frame's lettering is printed, and the frame has no mount, so your photograph sits directly within the silver oval. At the back, a black backing board holds the picture in place, and the easel stand folds out to prop the frame upright. To keep the white front looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe away marks with a barely damp cloth, then dry it straight away. Slip a print inside before you wrap it, and the frame is ready to open as a finished gift.
