Hinged Silverplated Double Photo Frame 8 x 6in - Silver

This hinged double photo frame sets two photographs side by side in a slim, shiny silverplated border, joined down the middle by a pair of small hinges. Each of its two rectangular apertures takes an 8 x 6in print, held upright in portrait, so a pair of favourite pictures sits together as one piece. The frame is metal alloy with a bright silver plating, and it stands 21cm tall and just 1.5cm deep. There is no mount, so each photograph fills its opening right to the narrow silver edge, which keeps the look clean and lets the pictures do the talking.

Because it is freestanding, it needs no wall and no nails: open it at the hinge and it stands on a sideboard, mantelpiece, bedside table or desk. Two openings suit pictures that belong together, such as a couple then and now, two children, two generations of a family, or a favourite place in summer and in winter. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, a way to bring familiar faces into fresh rooms from the very first day. The plain silver finish sits comfortably in most homes, from a crisp white shelf to a darker, more traditional room.

The two panels fold together on their hinges and open out to whatever angle suits the spot, so you can set the pair straight on or turned gently towards the room. With no mount to trim around, a standard 8 x 6in print is all each side needs. For care, dust the frame with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes or harsh cleaners, which can wear a plated finish over time. As a gift, it is worth placing two printed photographs inside before you wrap it, so it is ready to stand on a shelf the moment it is opened.
