This striking frame has been hand-made in shiny modern pewter to my original design of butterfly and honeysuckle. Measuring 173 x 220mm overall, it will take a photograph a fraction under 4 x 6 inches. The reverse, which is covered in black velour, has a stand, and and a ring for hanging.

Each pewter piece has been individually made by hand (not cast) to my own design. A pattern is raised on a sheet of pewter, then the raised area is filled. The item is then mounted on a rigid base,chemically patinated, then polished.Modern pewter is lead-free and after patination has a shiny,almost reflective,finish.It does not blacken like silver and can be brightened, if necessary,with a smear of metal polish and a buffing with a soft cloth.
