Description
This photo frame pairs a grey faux shagreen face with a bright, silver-coloured plated metal edge, giving a favourite picture a refined border. Faux shagreen recreates the fine, pebbled grain of classic shagreen, so the grey surface catches the light in tiny dots and has a soft, tactile look. The frame is rectangular with a single rectangular opening and no mount, so the photograph fills the space right up to the inner plated rim. It comes in three sizes, each holding one print: 6 x 4in, 7 x 5in and 10 x 8in.
Because it stands on its own strut, it needs no wall and no hooks, so it is easy to place on a mantelpiece, a bedside table, a dressing table or a bookshelf. The grey and silver colouring sits comfortably beside white, cream, charcoal and natural wood, and suits both modern and more classic interiors. Choose the 6 x 4in size for a standard snapshot on a desk, the 7 x 5in for a slightly larger portrait, or the 10 x 8in for a family picture that deserves pride of place. It also makes a thoughtful new home gift, a simple way to help someone put familiar faces on a fresh shelf.
The frame is made from metal with a plated finish, and the faux shagreen panel is set within the plated border. The black back is fitted with a strut so the frame stands upright on a flat surface. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth and, when needed, wipe the shagreen face gently with a slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull a plated surface. For a gift, slip in a photograph of the new house or of the people moving in before you wrap it, and at home we like two or three sizes grouped on a shelf for a neat, layered display.

Frequently Asked
What size photographs does this frame hold?
It comes in three sizes, each holding a single print: 6 x 4in, 7 x 5in and 10 x 8in, so choose the one that matches your photograph.
How does the frame stand?
It has a strut on the back, so it stands upright on a shelf, desk, mantelpiece or bedside table without needing a wall or any fixings.
What is the frame made from?
The frame is metal with a plated, silver-coloured edge, and its face is grey faux shagreen with a fine, pebbled texture.
Does the frame come with a mount?
No, it has no mount, so a print of the matching size sits directly within the single rectangular opening, right up to the plated inner rim.
How should I clean it?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth and, when needed, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners on the plated metal.
Is it a good housewarming gift?
Yes, it makes a thoughtful new home gift, and we suggest adding a photograph of the new house or the people moving in before you wrap it.
