Pick what works for you. A4 and smaller sizes come with a stand for tabletop display. 16-inch and larger are wall-only. Note: Frame only. Display items not included. Custom sizes and solid wood available on request.
2. Why this picture frame shadow box
Hollow interior — holds things with thickness
Regular frames press everything flat. This picture frame shadow box has 3cm or 5cm of depth. Dried flowers, small figurines, medals, shells. Anything with thickness fits inside without being crushed.
Two depths, pick what fits
3cm works for dried flowers, ticket stubs, small items. 5cm gives you room for medals, layered pieces, thicker objects. Not sure? Go with 5cm. Extra space never hurts.
Colors that do not go out of style
Black, white, natural wood, walnut. Four classic finishes that work with any decor. Nordic, Japanese, modern, minimalist.
Stand it or hang it
A4 and under come with a tabletop stand. 16-inch and larger are wall-only. This picture frame shadow box fits your space either way. Check the size guide before ordering.
Three panel materials — choose what matters
Acrylic is light and shatterproof. Good for shipping and everyday handling. Real glass gives you the clearest view. Perspex sits between the two. Decent clarity with better durability.
