Elephant Silverplated Metal Photo Frame 3 x 3in - Silver

This silverplated photo frame takes the shape of a little elephant, with a rounded body, an upturned trunk and two sturdy feet, and it holds a single photograph in a round window at its centre. The polished silver finish catches the light, and the ear sits proud of the body as a raised disc of its own, which gives the piece a gentle sense of depth. The window takes a 3 x 3in photograph and has no mount, so the picture sits right up to the bright silver rim. The frame stands 10.8cm tall, 14.7cm wide and 2.4cm deep, a neat size for a shelf or a bedside table.

Because it is freestanding, it needs no wall or hook and simply stands on its own two feet on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a mantelpiece. We think it makes a thoughtful christening gift, a sweet present for a baby shower, or a keepsake for new parents to fill with one of the very first photographs of their little one. It suits a baby's first few years, from the early days at home to a toddler's bedroom, and the cool silver tone sits easily with white, grey and soft pastel nursery colours. It is a keepsake for grown-ups to place where it can be seen, rather than something for small hands.

The frame is made of metal with a silverplated finish, and the back is a black panel that opens from behind, so you can slip your photograph into the round window without fuss. To keep the shine bright, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull a plated surface. For a ready-made gift, tuck a favourite newborn photograph inside before you wrap it, or group it with other baby keepsakes on the nursery shelf.
