Single picture frame Hama Waves Oak 119x164 mm

The Hama Waves Oak single picture frame is a compact rectangular frame designed for 119 x 164 mm images (commonly referred to as 7 x 10 cm). Constructed with a glass front and MDF backing finished in an oak look, the frame can be used freestanding on a table or mounted on a wall. Its slim profile and neutral oak appearance make it suitable for a range of interiors from modern to classic, providing a clean border that highlights photographs, prints or small artworks.

Advantages

The frame combines a transparent glass pane with a stable MDF body finished in oak grain, offering both image protection and visual warmth. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for small photo arrangements and tight spaces while the option to position it vertically or horizontally increases flexibility. The simple design minimises distraction from the picture itself and integrates easily with other frames or interior items.

Suitable for

• Framing 119 x 164 mm (7 x 10 cm) family photos or portraits
• Creating mixed photo walls or small gallery displays
• Displaying small prints, postcards or certificates
• Using on desks, shelves, or mounted on walls in living rooms, offices, or hallways

When it may not be suitable

This frame is designed for small-format images and may not be appropriate if you need to display larger photos or canvases. The glass front offers scratch resistance and clarity but is heavier and more fragile than some acrylic alternatives, so it requires careful handling during installation and cleaning.

Key specifications

• Visible image size: 119 x 164 mm (7 x 10 cm)
• Material front: glass
• Material frame/back: MDF with oak finish
• Orientation: can be used vertically or horizontally
• Mounting options: freestanding on flat surfaces and wall mounting

How to use

Open the back panel, place the photograph or print aligned to the visible area, and secure the backing. Select vertical or horizontal orientation and position the frame on a flat surface or use the integrated fittings to hang it on a wall. Clean the glass with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly to the glass to avoid moisture reaching the frame backing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the photo dimensions match 119 x 164 mm to avoid trimming or matting
• Consider whether you prefer glass or a lighter acrylic front for safety and weight
• Decide on orientation (portrait or landscape) and if multiple frames will be combined for a display

Usage recommendations

For long-lasting results, avoid placing the frame in direct sunlight to prevent photo fading and keep it in a stable indoor environment. Use acid-free photo paper or archival prints to preserve image quality, and handle the frame by its edges when changing pictures to reduce fingerprints on the glass.
