About this product

Product Description There's no more special way to display a treasured photograph than with this classic frame from the Lismore collection. Wedge cuts and leaf patterns make up the unforgettable design on the edges. Amazon.com This standing rectangular picture frame is part of Waterford's Lismore series. Waterford has been making renowned crystal pieces for more than 200 years and has named many of its patterns after towns in Waterford and other neighboring counties. The Lismore design features repeating leaf motifs for a lively, natural look. The outer edges of the frame curve gently inward and the corner points are truncated for a slight cabochon look, while scintillating fields of small wedge cuts hug the inner border of the picture area. The wedges are punctuated with tiny oval leaf cuts alternating up-and-down; the four corners are denoted with diagonal trios of more elongated leaf cuts. 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 crystal pieces in the Lismore series include candlesticks, vases, and a clock, as well as similar frames in varying sizes. 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
