Description
This silverplated photo frame keeps things beautifully simple: a bright rectangular frame with a smooth, stepped moulding and a fine beaded border running all the way around the picture opening. The silver finish has a high polish, so it catches the light from a window or a lamp and gives a favourite picture a crisp, clean edge. It is a single frame for one photograph, with a rectangular opening and no mount, so your print sits right up against the beading. It comes in two sizes: one holds a 7 x 5in print and the other an 8 x 6in print, so you can choose whichever suits your picture.
Because it stands on its own strut, the frame needs no wall and no fixings. It sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bedside table, a dressing table, a bookshelf or a desk at work, and the silver works alongside warm wood as well as cool white and grey schemes. The 7 x 5in size suits a close-up of a face or a holiday snapshot on a narrow shelf, while the 8 x 6in size gives a little more room for a family group or a wide view from a favourite walk. Either way, the beaded border draws the eye to the picture rather than the frame.
We like how simply it is made: metal with a real silverplated finish, and a neat black backing with a strut that holds it upright. Silverplate looks its best with gentle care: dust it with a soft dry cloth, and when the shine starts to dull, give it a light rub with a cloth made for silver, keeping away from anything abrasive that could wear the plating. Slip in a fresh print before you wrap it and it makes a thoughtful gift, ready to stand on a shelf the moment it is opened.
