Metal Box Photo Frame with Fine Edge 5 x 5in - Black & Gold

This square metal photo frame holds a square print inside a deep black box profile, finished with a fine gold edge around both the opening and the outer rim. The front is a rich black with a subtle textured grain running through it, while the sides turn to a distressed antique gold that catches the light as you walk past. Outside, it measures 18cm high, 18cm across and 3cm deep, so the wide black border gives a 5 x 5in photograph plenty of room to breathe. The inner edge steps down to the print, which gives the frame its box depth and draws the eye to the image.

A square print suits so many of the photographs we take on our phones, and this frame is made for exactly that size. Stand it on a bedside table, a desk, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf, where the black and gold reads as classic in a dark, moody scheme and adds contrast against pale walls and light wood. It works well alone or grouped with other frames in a mix of heights, and the deep profile gives it presence even though it is compact. As a gift, it is an easy choice for anyone with a favourite square snap waiting to be framed.

The frame is metal, with a black backing board and a tapered black easel stand on the back, so it sits upright on any flat surface without needing a wall. To keep the gold edges looking their best, dust with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners; a lightly damp cloth will lift marks from the front, followed by a dry one. We like to frame a holiday shot or a family portrait in it and set it beside a candle or a small vase for a quiet, considered corner.
