925 Sterling Silver Saint Michel Photo Frame — 15×20 cm, oval, engravable

An oval measuring 15 × 20 cm is no longer just a side frame—it is the piece around which a shelf is arranged. The large Saint Michel holds a portrait in 925 sterling silver, framed all around by a delicate beaded border.

Why a Large Oval Makes a Difference

The larger an oval frame becomes, the more its unique character stands out: the curve softens the austerity that a large rectangle always has on a wall or shelf. A family portrait in this format therefore appears warmer and less formal.

The beaded border forms the transition between the curved silver surface and the picture opening. At this size, it extends over a significantly longer distance—the uniformity of the beads is the quality feature that separates good work from mediocre.

Material and Workmanship

925 sterling silver, highly polished, with a hallmark as proof of silver content. Manufactured by Zaramella Argenti in Italy, a family business since 1948. The design language remains understated: an ornamental edge, otherwise a smooth surface.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The wide polished surface offers space for an engraving—for this format, even for a name with a date. We perform engravings upon request—please contact us before ordering, and we will discuss placement and font size together.

Upon request, we can include a personalized SilberVerse card in photo format—custom-designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge, even without an engraving.

For What Occasion Is the Large Saint Michel Suitable?

For a baptism as a godparent's gift that will last for decades. For a wedding, where an oval couple's portrait has its own unique touch. And for milestone birthdays, when a picture from family history is re-framed. The smaller oval in 10 × 15 cm format can be found here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What photo size fits in it?

A photo measuring 15 × 20 cm, centered, as the oval cutout trims the corners.

Does the frame stand vertically or horizontally?

It is designed as a portrait format—this corresponds to the classic portrait orientation.

Does it match the rectangular frames in the assortment?

Yes. A group of oval and rectangular silver frames looks more lively than a row of identical formats.

Does the silver tarnish?

Sterling silver reacts with air and will darken over time. A soft silver polishing cloth removes the tarnish. How best to care for children's silver is explained in our care guide.
