Thin Oblong Silverplated Metal Photo Frame 12 x 8in - Silver

This thin, oblong photo frame keeps things simple: a slim rectangular border in real silverplated metal with a single opening and no mount between you and the picture. It takes a 12 x 8in print, a size that suits enlargements of favourite landscapes, family portraits and wedding photographs. The narrow edge lets the photograph do the talking rather than compete with it. The frame measures 31cm tall, 20.6cm wide and 2cm deep, large enough to hold its own on a wall yet slim enough for a shelf or sideboard.

Because it can hang on the wall or stand on its own, it fits wherever the picture belongs: a hallway, a living room shelf, a bedside table or a desk at home. Hung on the wall, it keeps a surface clear. Stood up, it needs no wall at all, so it moves easily from room to room as your photographs change. The bright silver finish sits comfortably alongside both modern and traditional furnishings. We think it makes a thoughtful housewarming gift, ready for a first photograph of the front door, the keys changing hands or the people who will fill the place.

The frame is metal with a real silverplated finish, and a black stand at the back lets it rest on a flat surface. It hangs on the wall just as readily. With a single opening and no mount, the photograph sits directly within the border, so choose a print at the full 12 x 8in for the cleanest look. To keep the plating bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can wear a plated surface. For a gift, slip a favourite photograph inside before wrapping, so it is ready to stand on a mantelpiece or hang in the hall the moment it is opened.

What size photograph does this frame take?

It takes a single 12 x 8in print, and with no mount the photograph fills the opening right up to the slim silver border.

How big is the frame overall?

The frame measures 31cm tall, 20.6cm wide and 2cm deep, so it suits a wall, a mantelpiece or a wide shelf equally well.

How should I look after the silverplated finish?
