Photo frame Focus Aster Box Frame Black for 20x30 cm with passe-partout 13x18 cm

Focus Aster Box Frame Black for 20x30 cm with passe-partout 13x18 cm is a boxed-style photo frame that displays a smaller 13x18 cm image within a larger 20x30 cm outer format. The frame is finished in black and includes a white or neutral passe-partout (mat) designed to center and accentuate the smaller photograph or print. It is suitable for wall mounting or standing on flat surfaces, offering a protective glazed front and a depth that creates a shadowbox effect to enhance visual separation between the image and the wall.

Advantages

The boxed construction provides a clean, gallery-style presentation while protecting the photograph from dust and direct contact. The included passe-partout creates a clear visual border that focuses attention on the 13x18 cm image and reduces the need for separate matting. The black finish offers a neutral frame that complements a wide range of image styles and interior décors. The frame’s depth allows for both wall mounting and tabletop display, increasing placement flexibility.

Suitable for

• Displaying a 13x18 cm photograph or print within a 20x30 cm frame
• Home interiors such as living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways
• Office desks, reception areas, and meeting rooms
• Small gallery exhibits or promotional displays
• Gifts where a smaller photo is framed in an elegant presentation

When it may not be suitable

This frame is not suitable if you need to display images that exceed the 13x18 cm visible opening or the 20x30 cm outer size. It will not be appropriate where a frameless look or transparent edge-to-edge glazing is required. If you need archival-grade materials (acid-free backing or UV-filtering glazing) for long-term museum preservation, verify the specific material properties before purchase as this frame is described primarily for standard decorative use.

Key specifications

• Outer frame format: 20 x 30 cm
• Visible image opening (passe-partout): 13 x 18 cm
• Frame color: black
• Construction: boxed / shadowbox style with depth
• Display options: wall mount and tabletop stand
• Front cover: glazed front (protective transparent panel)

How to use

Open the rear panel to insert the photograph behind the passe-partout so the 13x18 cm image aligns centrally in the mat window. Ensure the image is straight and secured against the backing before replacing the rear panel. Use the built-in hook or hanging hardware to mount the frame on a wall, or engage the tabletop support for standing display. Clean the glazed front with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth, not directly onto the glazing, to avoid moisture reaching the backing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the visible image size 13 x 18 cm matches your print without cropping
• Check that the 20 x 30 cm outer dimensions fit the intended display area
• Decide whether boxed depth and shadowbox appearance suit your décor
• Verify if you require archival or UV-protective materials for long-term preservation

Usage recommendations

For best results, use high-contrast or brightly colored prints to take advantage of the black frame and white passe-partout contrast. Avoid hanging in direct sunlight to reduce fading of the photograph; place the frame at eye level for optimal viewing. When gifting, include a small backing note with the image dimensions to help recipients replace or reframe images correctly.
