This matt black metal frame is a is a box effect frame as it measures approximately 3/4 inch deep and the photo is held by spring clips towards the glass at the front. Made in Italy, the Signa 6x4 inch photo frame has been manufactured to a high standard and is well finished. The front edge of the frame is extremely thin, giving a minimalist feeling and the photograph is simply put into the back by removing the MDF backboard. The strong metal clips hold the picture in place and the frame can either stand or hang in either vertical or horizontal mode, making it really versitile for landscape or portrait photos. The strong stand on the back holds the frame upright and the crisp, sharp edges keep the frame modern looking. The black edge is a subtle brushed aluminium effect which is ideal for hanging with the other silver frame in the range.
