Inspired by stained-glass windows, the metal frame and iridescent shell inside create an Arts and Crafts feel. The frame is glazed in glass and has a soft velvet backing. This freestanding frame can be displayed vertically or horizontally. The inch measurements are rounded measurements worked back from standard centimetre sizes. The size refers to the size of the photo within the frame, which usually allows for an overlap of approximately 5mm.

Our Stylist Says
The Laura Ashley Oakford Mother of Pearl Photo Frame offers a subtle touch of elegance with its grey and nickel finish, making it quite versatile. I love how it pairs well with both classic and contemporary interiors, especially those with muted or neutral tones. When styling, consider grouping multiple frames on a shelf or sideboard for a curated look, or use it as a standalone piece on a bedside table for an understated touch. Practical tip: display personal or black-and-white photos to enhance its timeless appeal, ensuring the frame doesn't overpower the image but complements it seamlessly. This piece works particularly well in understated schemes or minimalist settings where its refined details can really shine.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
