Chitra 5x7 Mother of Pearl Picture Frame- Hand Carved Fair Trade

Mother of pearl has been prized since ancient times — its iridescent surface catching light the way no painted or printed material can, shifting in color and luminosity as the eye moves across it, alive in a way that speaks of the ocean depths from which it came and the skilled hands that shaped it into something beautiful. This Chitra 5" x 7" Picture Frame is a work of that ancient tradition: each tile of mother of pearl mosaic inlay is set by master artisans in India, piece by piece, into a frame that is as much an object of art as it is a holder of memory.

The iridescent tiles glisten as they catch the light, casting a soft shimmer around whatever photograph the frame houses. A two-way easel back allows tabletop display in portrait or landscape orientation, while metal D-rings on the back make it equally at home hung on a wall — vertically or horizontally. Metal swivel tabs provide easy access to change the photo. Glass front protects the image. A frame of this quality makes a deeply meaningful wedding gift, anniversary gift, or gift for any occasion that calls for something made with genuine care and skill.
