Photo Frames & Albums

A photograph held in the right frame becomes more than a memory: it becomes a cherished piece of art for the home. Many of our artisan photo frames are crafted in Italy by skilled artisans with generations of expertise in marquetry. Each frame is shaped from tulipwood, which is prized for its fine grain and gentle warmth. They are then hand-finished using techniques that are a heritage art of the region.

Available in a curated range of coloured photo frames and considered neutrals, with up to three sizes per design, our collection is designed to bring joy to everyday moments. Combine tones and scales to build a personal home gallery, or choose a single frame as a beautifully crafted artisan gift. Discover the collection below.

The Craft of Italian Marquetry in Photo Frames

The beauty of our artisan photo frames comes from the skilled craftsmanship that gives each piece its richness of pattern and depth of colour. These qualities come from the centuries-old craft of marquetry.

Marquetry is the practice of cutting and inlaying small pieces of wood by hand to form intricate patterns within a larger surface. Each piece is shaped, fitted and finished individually, a process that takes many hours per frame. The artisans behind our collection work in an area of Italy where marquetry has been practised for generations, with technique passed from one maker to the next.

At the heart of every frame is tulipwood: light in tone, fine in grain, and chosen for the way it carries colour and detail. Each one is finished by hand and designed to be kept for years to come – even handed down as keepsakes.

Building a Home Gallery

A luxury photo frame is a small piece of decorative art. Our coloured photo frames are available in a considered palette of soft botanicals, deeper jewel tones and timeless neutrals. Each artisan photo frame is designed to elevate the room around them and bring joy to everyday moments.

Mix scales and tones across a console or a quiet corner of a study to build a personal home gallery. With three sizes per design, you have freedom to compose a grouping that feels balanced. You might use larger frames as anchors on consoles and desks, and smaller ones for the intimacy of a bedside table.

For a coherent feel, we like to layer our marquetry frames with a handsome tray on the console, cushions and throws on a nearby chair, or pieces from the wider home decor collection. Our artisan photo frames also make excellent gifts for loved ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you still have some questions please do feel free to get in touch with us.

What is tulipwood, and why is it used for marquetry?

Tulipwood is a fine, pale hardwood prized for its smooth grain, gentle warmth and the way it accepts both stain and detail. Its uniform colour makes it an exceptional canvas for marquetry, and its density holds intricate cuts beautifully. The result is an artisan frame with an elegant design with a uniquely charming handcrafted appeal.

What photo sizes do your frames take?

Our artisan photo frames are available in up to three sizes per design, accommodating a thoughtful range of common photograph dimensions. Specific aperture sizes are listed on each product page, so you can find the right fit for the photograph or print you have in mind.

How do I clean and care for a luxury photo frame?

A soft, dry cloth or a clean, soft brush is all that's needed to lift dust from the inlaid surface. We'd suggest avoiding moisture, harsh chemicals, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the wood and pigments to fade over time. With a little care, a marquetry frame will only deepen in character with the years.

Do your photo frames make good gifts?

Yes. Our marquetry photo frames are among our most-loved gifts for weddings, christenings, birthdays and other personal milestones. Each piece is designed to be enjoyed for a lifetime. Many of our customers choose them to mark a moment that will also serve everyday life: a wedding portrait on the mantelpiece, or a child's first photograph at a bedside.

Can these frames be used for artwork or prints as well as photographs?

The marquetry detail and considered colour palette make our photo frames a beautiful home for original watercolours, small prints, pressed botanicals, postcards from travels, and other small works on paper. Anything that fits the aperture and is no more than a few millimetres thick can sit comfortably within.
