Description:
This stylish, upright rectangular picture frame is part of Waterford's Metropolitan series. Though Waterford has been making renowned crystal pieces for more than 200 years and is famous for timeless classic designs, these pieces clearly have an architecturally modern, art-deco flair. The Metropolitan design features clean, rectangular lines and fields of unblemished crystal. The Metropolitan picture frame focuses in on the center of the frame by using a telescoping design of three receding, step-like shelves on the side borders. Aside from the angular contours, the crystal is unadorned, emphasizing its startling clarity. A black velvet backing, easily removed by turning two small metal toggles, holds a photo or drawing centered in the frame. A chain-reinforced easel stand allows the frame to stand at a relatively slight angle. Other matching pieces in the Metropolitan series include a candle pillar, pedestal bowl, and three sizes of table clock. To preserve its clarity, wash this crystal frame with a mild liquid soap and warm (not hot) water; do not wash in dishwasher as this may permanently etch surface of crystal. Certain water may leave a lime or mineral deposit on the crystal; if that happens, vinegar on a soft, nonabrasive cloth will help remove the deposit. Rinse with warm water and polish with a lint-free cloth. Do not store frame on its delicate edges or stand on its edge on a draining board. Crystal can focus sunlight into a concentrated beam that could potentially scorch rugs or furniture, so do not store or display in direct sunlight. The frame measures 5 by 7 inches, and the easel stand extends back 3-1/2 inches. --Garland Withers
