Frames, Photo Frames and Wall Art

Features and types

The frames, photo holders and pictures category of L'Arcolaio covers a wide range: from small desktop photo holders to large-format decorative pictures, to wall mirrors, ornamental plaques and ceramic clocks. Each product meets different needs, whether for everyday décor or celebration. The selection includes offers from EDG Enzo De Gasperi, Tono Su Tono, Cupido&Co., WD LifeStyle and other brands.

Table photo holders

The most popular formats for desks, shelves and bedside tables are 9×13 cm, 10×15 cm and 13×18 cm. EDG Enzo De Gasperi frames with ruffles, available in square (15×15 cm) and rectangular (20×15 cm) versions, come in various colours including blue and yellow, suitable for vibrant interiors or children's rooms. The oval Tono Su Tono photo holder (22×25 cm) in mustard is instead designed for those seeking an alternative to the classic rectangle. Cupido&Co. offers a gilt glass photo holder (205×80 mm, H 260 mm), an elegant solution suitable for vertical shelves.

Canvas pictures

For walls, EDG Enzo De Gasperi offers abstract canvas pictures without frame in various formats: from 60×45 cm up to 120×90 cm and 75×150 cm. The subjects range from abstract compositions like The Gold, Dune e Symbol to more figurative motifs like Fruit Picture in green mix, designed for kitchens and dining rooms. These are mid to high-range solutions, suitable for large living room or entrance walls.

Frames with light inserts and mirrors

WD LifeStyle offers frames with light inserts in 30×50 cm format, with multicolour decorations such as the Gin Tonic subject: an accessory that combines decoration and lighting, ideal as a gift or scenic element. Alongside these, the range includes ornamental plaques with braided borders and wall mirrors, useful for composing galleries or enhancing entrances and corridors.

Photo holders for ceremonies

Part of the selection is dedicated to baptisms and other ceremonies: photo holders with symbolic silver and gold decorations, which can be matched as a keepsake of the occasion or as a décor accessory after the event. These frames pair well with other ceremony accessories: if you're organising a baptism or communion, you can complete the memory table by pairing Maxtris sweets with coordinated sweet holders and small bags.

How to choose the right frame or picture

By format and available space

The first criterion is space. For bedside tables and short shelves, 10×15 cm or 13×18 cm formats are the most practical choice. For wall compositions or photo galleries larger dimensions are needed: from 30×50 cm onwards, up to EDG's 120×90 cm pictures. Before purchasing, measure the wall and consider the viewing distance: the further away, the larger the subject needs to be to have impact.

By material and finish

• Guaranteed silver: maximum durability and shine, suitable for classic settings and ceremonies
• Silver laminate on wood: appearance similar to silver at lower cost; excellent choice for domestic settings
• Glass: brings transparency and lightness, as in the Cupido&Co. gold glass photo holder
• Canvas: ideal for large-format pictures, lightweight and resistant over time
• Resin and ceramic: lighter, suitable for thematic decorations and clocks

By occasion of use

• Daily home use: prefer EDG Enzo De Gasperi frames with coloured ruffles or Tono Su Tono in mustard, for shelves and bedside tables
• Ceremonies (baptism, communion, confirmation): choose photo holders in guaranteed silver or wood with symbolic decorations
• Wall decoration: consider EDG abstract canvas pictures, available in multiple subjects and sizes, for living room or bedroom
• Gift: WD LifeStyle frames with light inserts are an original idea outside classical schemes

Frequently asked questions

Which materials guarantee greater durability for a photo holder?

Guaranteed silver and PVD finishes offer resistance to oxidation and scratches over time. Solid wood ensures structural solidity. For environments with high humidity, treated materials or ceramic are recommended, as they are more stable in difficult conditions.

How do I choose the right format for a frame or wall picture?

The format depends on the wall dimensions and viewing distance. For large living room walls, formats from 90×120 cm or larger are recommended, such as EDG Enzo De Gasperi pictures. For shelves and bedside tables, 10×15 cm or 13×18 cm formats are ideal.

Are photo holders designed for baptism suitable only for that ceremony?

No. Thanks to the symbolic silver and gold decorations, they can also be used for communion, confirmation or as classic décor accessories for entrances and living rooms.

What is the difference between guaranteed silver and silver laminate?

Guaranteed silver is solid silver with certification, offering greater value and durability over time. Silver laminate is a thin layer applied to a wood or metal base: it offers a similar aesthetic at a lower cost.

How do I clean silver frames without damaging them?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth, without abrasive or acidic products. For guaranteed silver there are specific detergents for precious metals; it is always best to follow the manufacturer's instructions or the product label.
