The Milo range of frames are Made in Italy and are from responsibly forested wood, which makes us very happy. The 16×12 frame has a metallic effect finish on the gold frame is really effective and the wide frame edge and sharp edges give it a more mordern look, which has been counter balanced by the antique effect finish. The outer edge of the frame is painted a matt black which gives it a great finish and the glass front protects the photo inside. The photograph is fitted into the frame from the back, by removing the backboard and then is secured into place with the four folding pins and the metal toothed hook can be re-positioned on either the long or short side of the frame so that it can be hung horizontally or vertically.
