Product Information

Full details

The Fifty Five South Bowerbird Photo Frame in Gold is designed for individuals looking to stylishly display photographs or small art pieces. Its key benefit is the unique blend of a metallic gold frame with a textured black cowhide inner section, offering a sophisticated accent to any decor. A potential caveat is its specific size (H17 x W22 x D2cm), which may limit the dimensions of the photos it can accommodate. This frame features a durable metal construction, a clear glass pane, and an easy-to-use back latch for picture changes.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the photo that fits?

The frame is designed for photos or artwork with external dimensions of approximately 17cm in height and 22cm in width. It's recommended to measure your photo precisely.

How do I clean the cowhide section?

Gently wipe the cowhide with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For significant stains, consider a specialist leather cleaner, but always test on a small, hidden area first.

Is the frame suitable for outdoor display?

No, this frame is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to weather, humidity, and direct sunlight can damage the materials, particularly the cowhide and metal finish.

What is the weight of the frame?

The frame weighs 1.3kg.

Can I hang this frame on the wall?

The frame is primarily designed for tabletop display. It does not come with pre-installed wall hanging hardware.

What materials is the frame made from?

The frame is constructed from metal and cowhide, with a clear glass pane.

How do I change the picture in the frame?

There is a latch system on the back of the frame that allows for easy opening and closing to swap out pictures.

Troubleshooting

Latching mechanism is stiff or difficult to open/close.

Ensure there is no obstruction. Gently try to wiggle the latch. If it persists, a tiny amount of dry lubricant (like graphite powder) can be applied to the hinge points, but avoid over-application.

Glass is smudged or dirty.

Use a dedicated glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass, to prevent liquid from seeping behind the frame.

Cowhide appears discolored or marked.

For minor marks, try a very slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consult a specialist leather cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Frame feels unstable when displayed.

Ensure the frame is on a flat, level surface. Check that the back of the frame is flush against the surface if leaning, or that any easel (if applicable) is fully extended and stable.
