This range of frames have been manufactured in Italy and are from responsibly forested wood, which makes us very happy. The Milo 8x6 Photo Frame has been painted in silver paint which gives it an antique look, but the wide frame edge and sharp edges give it a more mordern look, which counter balances beautifully with the more antique effect. The outer edge of the frame is painted a matt black which gives it a great finish, contrasting really well with the silver front and the glass aperture protects the photo inside. The photograph is fitted into the frame from the back, by removing the backboard and then is secured into place with the four folding pins and the metal toothed hook can be re-positioned on either the long or short side of the frame so that it can be hung horizontally or vertically. The strong strut on which the frame stands has been designed so that the image can be displayed horizontally or vertically and slides up and down the metal fitting, so that the frame can be angled according to preference. The frame measures approximately 10x8 inches overall and has a frame width of approximately 1.25 inches.
