Description
This silver plated photo frame marks a christening with the words My Christening Day raised across the top in rounded lettering. Around the picture runs a border of little baby motifs in relief: building blocks, a teddy bear, a rattle, a baby bottle, a wrapped present, flowers and a small church, all in the same bright silver. It holds a single 5 x 3.5in photograph in a rectangular opening, and beneath the picture sits a plain scroll banner that rounds off the design. The frame measures 17cm high, 13.5cm wide and just 1cm deep, so it takes up very little room.
We think it belongs on the christening day itself and long after it, as a thoughtful christening gift for a little one up to three years old. Fill it with a photograph from the service, the font or the family gathering afterwards, and it becomes a keepsake the family will look back on for years. It stands on its own, so it needs no wall: set it on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers, a dressing table or the mantelpiece, where the raised silver catches the light. Because it is only a centimetre deep, it sits comfortably beside other frames and treasured pieces on a narrow shelf or bookcase.
The frame is metal with a silver plated finish, and an easel style strut at the back holds it upright on any flat surface. There is no mount, so your photograph sits straight behind the opening with the decorated border doing the framing. To keep the shine, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes or harsh cleaners, which can wear a plated surface. It makes an easy present to prepare: slip in a favourite picture from the day before you wrap it, and it is ready to give.
