Ripple Texture Silverplated Photo Frame 7 x 5in - Silver

This silver plated photo frame wears a rippling texture across its whole face, with fine raised lines that run side to side like wind across water. It is real silver plate, polished to a bright shine, so the ridges catch the light from every angle and give the border a gentle movement. The window is rectangular and takes a 7 x 5in print, and there is no mount, so your picture sits straight in behind the wide plated border. The frame measures 21.8cm along its longer side and is 2cm deep, a comfortable size for a shelf, a desk or a bedside table.

Its strut lets it stand on its own, so it needs no nails: set it on a mantelpiece, a hall table or a dressing table and it is ready. The back also carries two small triangular hangers, one placed for an upright picture and one for a sideways one, if you would rather hang it. Silver suits almost any room, sitting as happily beside crisp white walls as it does among warm woods and soft greys. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, ready for the first photograph taken in a new front room or garden, or for a favourite face that travels with the family from house to house.

The frame has a black backing with a thin silver rim, and the black strut at the back holds it at a gentle lean. The plated finish keeps its shine best with light handling: dust it with a soft dry cloth, and if it needs more, wipe it with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. Avoid polishes and abrasive cleaners, which can wear a plated surface. For a gift, slip a favourite photograph inside before you wrap it, so the first thing they see is a memory already in place.
