Hinged Silverplated Double Photo Frame 7 x 5in - Silver

This hinged double photo frame holds two photographs side by side in a slim, polished silver surround. It is made from metal alloy with a silver plated finish, and each of its two rectangular openings takes a standard 7 x 5in print, set upright. The border is kept narrow, so your pictures take the lead and the polished edge simply catches the light around them. There is no mount, which means each photograph fills its opening right up to the frame, and the cool silver tone suits colour and black and white prints equally well.

Because it is freestanding, the frame needs no wall, no nails and no picture hooks. Open the hinge to the angle that suits the spot and it stands on its own on a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a bedside table or a desk. Two openings make it a natural home for a pair of pictures that belong together: a before and after, two siblings as babies and as grown-ups, a favourite place in summer and in winter, or the two halves of a special day. The neutral silver sits comfortably with both modern and traditional rooms, from pale painted shelves to dark polished wood, so it is an easy choice whatever someone's style.

The two panels are joined at the centre by small metal hinges, so you can set them wide open or angled towards each other, depending on how much room you have. The plated finish gives the frame its bright silver colour, and a little care keeps it that way: dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or metal polishes, which can wear a plated surface over time. For a ready-made gift, we suggest slipping two favourite photographs into it before you wrap it, so it can go straight onto a shelf the moment the paper comes off.
