Italian Narrow Wave Wood Back Photo Frame 6 x 4in - Silver

This narrow wave photo frame wraps a favourite picture in a band of shiny silver, its border rippled with fine wave lines that catch the light as you move around the room. It holds a 6 x 4in print in a rectangular window, the everyday size most photographs are printed in, so there is no trimming or mount cutting to fuss over. The frame stands 18cm tall, 13cm wide and 2cm deep, a slim and compact piece that sits neatly without crowding a shelf. Its bright silver front is set on a dark wood back, and the frame is made in Italy.

Because it stands on its own, it needs no wall at all: it is at home on a bedside table, a desk, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf, where the rippled silver picks up lamplight after dark and daylight by day. A small metal hanger at the top of the back also lets it go on a wall if you would rather. Silver sits comfortably with most colour schemes, from crisp white and soft grey to warm oak and painted cottage walls, so it suits a modern flat as readily as a period home. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, framing a first photograph of the front door or a favourite face to take pride of place on a fresh mantelpiece.

Behind the silver front, the dark wood back carries a fold-out stand that holds the frame steady at a gentle lean, so it stays put on a shelf or table. The shiny finish is the point of the piece, so treat it kindly: dust with a soft dry cloth and steer clear of abrasive polishes or harsh cleaners, which can dull a bright surface over time. Slip in a 6 x 4in print of a holiday, a wedding day or the family dog, and it is ready to give or to keep.
