1. Beaded Silver Plated Photo frame  

This was our best-selling frame of the year. A fine border of silver beads gives it a classic, quietly glamorous look that suits a hallway table as well as a bedside. It comes in 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10, so you can build a matching group. Good for grandparents and anyone who likes traditional style.

2. Fine Edged Silver Photo Frame

This is the simple one: a slim silver edge that lets the photo do the talking. It’s a long-standing bestseller because it suits every room and every taste, which makes it the safest gift on the list. The double and triple versions hold a run of family photos, a wedding day or three generations side by side.

3. Bamboo Silver Plated Photo Frame

Silver plate shaped like bamboo gives this frame texture and a bit of character. It’s elegant but not formal, and works well as a gift for a new home or for someone whose taste is hard to guess.

4. Pale Sage Green Enamel & Silver Frame

Soft sage enamel set in a silver surround. It’s one of our most-loved colours, and it’s back in stock just in time for Christmas. Pair it with Powder Blue or Periwinkle for a family of frames, or give one on its own for a modern take on a classic.

5. Cherry Scalloped Lacquer Photo Frame

A soft scalloped edge and a deep cherry red make this the most festive frame on the list. It’s finished in 20 coats of high-gloss lacquer, polished by hand between each coat, so it glows on a mantelpiece or a dressing table. It holds a 5x7 photo, arrives in a gift box, and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It also matches our lacquer trays and boxes if you want to give a set. If cherry isn’t their colour, it comes in shades from Navy and Chambray Blue to Tortoiseshell and Pink.
