Description
This little oval photo frame sets a small picture inside a border of faux shagreen, the fine pebbled texture that gives the piece its character. The metal frame carries a soft cream finish across that textured band, edged inside and out with rows of silver-coloured beading that catch the light around the oval window. It measures 10cm high, 7.5cm wide and 4cm deep, so it is small enough to sit almost anywhere, and the back is finished in black.
A 3 x 2in print is a small, close picture, just right for a single face or a favourite moment cropped tight, and this frame gives it a proper setting on a bedside table, a dressing table or a desk. It sits happily on a bookshelf among larger frames, adding a little texture to the group, or on its own beside a lamp in the hall. The cream tone suits soft, neutral rooms and warmer schemes alike, and the silver-coloured beading ties in with other silver-toned pieces on a mantelpiece or a console table. Because it is so compact, it also fits the narrow spots where a bigger frame would crowd things, such as a windowsill or the shelf of a cabinet.
At the back, a black fold-out stand lets the frame sit on any flat surface, so it needs no wall space, and small turn clips hold the backing in place when you change the picture. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep harsh polishes and water away from the textured border. We like it grouped with one or two other small frames in matching tones, or wrapped up with a printed photo already inside as a thoughtful, ready-made gift.

Frequently Asked
What size photo does this frame hold?
It takes a 3 x 2in photograph, framed by an oval window, so a small print or a picture trimmed to that size fits neatly.
How big is the frame itself?
The frame measures 10cm high, 7.5cm wide and 4cm deep, which makes it compact enough for a bedside table, a desk or a crowded shelf.
Does the frame stand up on its own?
Yes, a black fold-out stand at the back lets it sit freestanding on a flat surface such as a shelf, a desk or a mantelpiece.
What colour is the frame?
The faux shagreen border is cream, edged inside and out with silver-coloured beading, and the back and stand are finished in black.
What is the frame made of?
It is a metal frame with a faux shagreen border, which gives the look of a fine pebbled texture without being the real material.
How should I look after it?
Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, and keep water and harsh polishes away from the textured border and the beaded rims.
