Description
This silverplated photo frame pairs a broad satin silver band with fine polished lines at its outer edge and around the picture, so the border reads as a quiet frame within a frame. It is a rectangular metal frame and holds an 8 x 6in photograph, the classic size for a favourite portrait or a print from a special day. The whole frame stands 27cm tall and 22cm wide, which gives the photograph a generous margin of silver without crowding a shelf. The soft sheen of the satin band sits against the brighter shine of the polished edges, and the effect is simple and clean rather than ornate.
Because the photograph sits upright in portrait format, the frame suits a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a dressing table or a bedside table, and it works as well in a study or hallway as in a living room. A plain silver finish sits comfortably beside both warm woods and painted furniture, and alongside other silver pieces it keeps to the same quiet tone. As a present, it keeps a chosen memory on show, and an 8 x 6in print is a size most people already have to hand, from a family portrait to a holiday snap.
Behind the front, a black backing closes the frame and a fold-out easel stand lets it stand on its own, so it needs no wall and no fixings. Small fastenings hold the back in place, so changing the photograph is a quick job. To care for the silverplated finish, dust with a soft dry cloth and, where it needs more, wipe gently with a lightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid abrasive cleaners, which can wear a plated surface. For a gift, slip the photograph in before you wrap it, and the frame is ready to stand the moment it is opened.
