Description
This silverplated photo frame keeps things simple, with a flat edge of bright, polished silver around a single rectangular opening. The band of metal is wide and smooth, with a fine stepped line where it meets the picture, so the eye goes straight to the photograph inside. It takes a 7 x 5in print, the classic size for a favourite portrait or a well-loved family photograph, and there is no mount, so your picture fills the opening right up to the silver. Overall the frame measures 20cm high, 15cm wide and just 1.2cm deep, a slim, neat size that sits comfortably beside other frames.
A strut at the back lets it stand on its own, so it needs no wall and no fixings: set it on a bedside table, a mantelpiece, a hall shelf or a desk at work. The back also carries small hanging fittings, so it can go on the wall instead if you prefer. Bright silver works with almost any scheme, sitting as happily beside white walls and pale wood as it does with darker, richer colours, and the plain flat edge lets black and white photographs and colour prints look equally at home. Because the design is so pared back, it suits a row of frames along a shelf just as well as a single picture on its own.
The frame is made from metal alloy with a real silverplated finish, and a plain black backing keeps the reverse tidy wherever it might be seen. Small turn clips hold the back in place, so changing the picture takes moments. To keep the shine, dust it with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can wear the plating. We think it makes an easy, considered gift: slip a printed photograph inside before you wrap it, and it is ready to go straight onto a shelf.

Frequently Asked
What size photograph does this frame hold?
It holds a single 7 x 5in print in a rectangular opening, and with no mount the picture fills the opening right up to the silver edge.
How big is the frame overall?
The frame measures 20cm high, 15cm wide and 1.2cm deep, a slim size that sits neatly on a shelf, desk or mantelpiece.
Can it stand up, or does it hang on the wall?
It can do either. A strut at the back lets it stand on its own, and small hanging fittings on the back mean it can go on a wall instead.
What is the frame made from?
The frame is made from metal alloy with a real silverplated finish, giving it a bright, shiny silver look, and it has a plain black backing.
How do I look after the silverplated finish?
Dust it with a soft, dry cloth to keep the silver bright, and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can wear the plating over time.
Does the frame come with a mount?
No, there is no mount, so a 7 x 5in print sits directly in the opening and shows right up to the flat silver edge.
