Silverplated Slim Edge Metal Photo Frame 10 x 8in - Silver

This slim edge photo frame wraps a favourite picture in a narrow border of shiny silver-plated metal, keeping the focus on the photograph rather than the frame. The edge is kept fine and neat, with a delicate textured detail running around its outer line that catches the light without fuss. It takes a 10 x 8in print, a generous size for a portrait, a family group or a favourite place, and the whole frame measures 26cm tall, 21cm wide and just 1.5cm deep. That slim depth means it sits close to the back of a shelf and leaves room for other pieces beside it.

A frame like this suits almost any room in the house. We like it on a hallway console, a mantelpiece or a bedside table, where a 10 x 8in photograph is big enough to read from across the room. The bright silver finish sits comfortably with both warm and cool colour schemes, from crisp white walls to deeper painted shades, and the clean rectangular outline works in traditional and modern rooms alike. It also makes a thoughtful new home gift: a frame ready for the first photograph taken in a new front room, or a picture of the old house to bring along.

The frame stands upright on a black easel stand at the back, so it needs no wall, no nails and no fixings, and the black backing keeps the reverse tidy if it is seen from behind on an open shelf. To keep the silver plating bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes or harsh cleaners, which can wear a plated surface over time. Choose a print with a little white space around the subject, and the narrow silver edge will frame it neatly and let the picture do the talking.
