Description
This thin oblong photo frame is finished in real silver plating over a metal alloy, with a slim rounded edge that lets the picture do the talking. It holds a single 6 x 4in print in a rectangular opening. With no mount, the photograph runs right to the inner edge of the frame, so a favourite snap is seen at its fullest. The frame itself measures 15cm on its longer side and 10.4cm on its shorter side, and it is just 1.6cm deep, which keeps it neat and unfussy. The bright silver finish catches the light softly, with no pattern or decoration to compete with your picture.
Because it stands on its own fold-out strut, this frame needs no wall and no nail. It sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a desk at work or a bedside table. The plain silver suits almost any room, from a crisp modern living room to a cosier bedroom. It also looks right beside frames you already have if you like to build a small group of family pictures. The 6 x 4in size is the everyday print most photo printing services offer, so filling it is simple, whether that is a holiday picture, a portrait of a loved one or a snap of the family pet.
The back is black, with a black strut that folds out to hold the frame steady, and the polished silver edges wrap around all four sides. Like any silver plate, it is best looked after gently: dust it with a soft dry cloth to keep the plating bright and keep it away from damp. We think it makes a simple, considered gift, ready to fill with a photograph that means something to the person receiving it. It is just as good a way to give your own pictures a smart home on the shelf.
