Description
This photo frame sets a champagne faux shagreen border between two fine lines of silver beading, giving a favourite picture a quietly polished home. The faux shagreen has the pebbled, grainy texture of the real thing, laid over a plated metal frame with a silver finish that shows along every edge. One row of raised beading runs around the outside and another frames the window, catching the light against the soft texture between them. The frame is a rectangle and holds a 10 x 8in print, a generous size for a family portrait or a favourite landscape.
Because it stands on its own easel back, the frame needs no wall and sits on a mantelpiece, a hallway console, a sideboard or a bedside table. It works upright for a portrait or turned on its side for a landscape, so it suits whichever picture you choose to put in it. The champagne and silver tones sit alongside warm woods, cream walls and grey or brass accents, and the faux shagreen brings a tactile note to a dressing table or a study desk. It also makes a thoughtful new home gift. Frame a picture of the new front door, a moving-day snapshot or the friends who helped them move, and it becomes a keepsake for the first shelf they fill.
Around the back, a black backing closes the frame. It has a fold-out easel for standing and two small hanging loops, one on the top edge and one on the side, so the frame can go on the wall upright or on its side. It is 2cm deep, slim enough for a crowded shelf. To keep the beading bright, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and avoid polishes or abrasive cleaners on the faux shagreen. Pair it with smaller frames in silver tones for a grouped arrangement, or give it pride of place with one favourite picture.
