Not every photograph is meant to sit quietly on a shelf. Some are meant to stop you in your tracks every time you walk past them. This is the frame you choose for that photograph.

Richer in colour and bolder in presence than its counterparts, the deep red ground and layered gold foiling command attention without demanding it. Handcrafted in small batches, the vintage-style Mughal-inspired print gives the piece an aged authority, as though it has always been part of the room.

  • Fits a 5 x 7 inch portrait or landscape photo (approx. 23 x 28 x 3.8 cm full frame)
  • Bold red vintage Mughal-inspired print
  • Hand-applied gold foil finish

Rustic Art for the Modern Home

This handcrafted photo frame blends vintage-style printing with detailed foiling, featuring a rustic gold finish that beautifully catches the light. Whether displayed on a mantel, shelf, or bedside table, it brings warmth and elegance to any space, providing a stunning backdrop for your most precious memories.

Inspired by centuries of Persian and Indian craftsmanship, the design reflects the 16th-century Mughal era, known for merging Persian art with Indian culture to create the iconic patterns found in royal palaces and textiles.

Ideal for cultural lovers or thoughtful gift-givers, this frame goes beyond displaying photos - it adds a timeless touch of heritage and sophistication to your home.

Handcrafted & Supports Craftsmanship

Rakesh and his team of artisans draw inspiration from both their traditional roots and contemporary decor, creating functional pieces that also serve as stunning works of art. Based in the art-rich city of New Delhi, they are dedicated to preserving their craft in the face of mass-produced goods and a declining appreciation for handmade artistry. Each creation reflects their meticulous precision and patience, with resourcefulness woven into the design, ensuring every piece is a unique expression of creativity for your home.

“We use a low pixel print technique to create a distinct vintage look and enrich the gold, adding unique character and sophistication” - Rakesh, maker.

Golden Beauty and Strength

Gold foiling, once reserved for royal palaces and sacred art, transforms simple surfaces into gleaming works of art. Every delicate layer catches the light, adding a sense of richness and refined beauty.

Skilled artisans pair this luxurious technique with high-quality MDF - a material chosen for its smooth texture and strength - to create décor pieces that feel both luxurious and accessible. The result? Striking designs that bring a subtle glow and sophisticated charm to any room, without the royal price tag.

Perfect for those who crave a touch of grandeur in everyday life.

Durable & Easy to Clean

• Dust with a soft, dry cloth.
• Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight to protect the foil finish.
• To fit your photo, lift out the back panel, slide your picture in and replace the back.
• Do not use damp cloths or abrasive cleaners on the foil surface.

FAQs

How is the rustic gold finish achieved?
Applied by hand by skilled artisans. The ‘rustic’ quality is intentional - it has a warm, aged character rather than the hard shine of mass-produced metallic finishes. It catches light differently across the frame’s surface, giving it more depth.
Can I put a smaller photo in it with a mount?
Yes, if you have your own card mount, you can easily fit a smaller photo (like a 4x6) inside the 5x7 window.
I'm not South Asian - is it okay to buy or gift these pieces?

Honestly, yes - whether that's for yourself or someone you care about.

Every item at ALORAA comes with a real story: who made it, where, using skills passed down through generations. When you bring one of these into your home or give one to someone you love, you're not just acquiring an object. You're sharing that story. That's not appropriation - it's how craft traditions survive.

The distinction that matters isn't your background. It's whether you're engaging with the culture or just borrowing the aesthetic without the story. Knowing the provenance, buying from a brand built to support the makers, choosing something with meaning attached - that's appreciation.

Are your materials sustainably sourced?

Wherever possible, yes. We prioritise materials that are responsibly harvested, recycled, or upcycled. Each product page shares details about what's used in that piece.

Why ALORAA?

Because beautiful things shouldn't come at someone else's expense. Every piece should carry respect - for the maker, the materials, and for you.

We pay fair wages without compromise and share the real stories behind our craft. That's how we create decor worth owning - and keeping.

Do you offer gift notes and wrapping?

We offer beautiful gift wrapping for just £4 and complimentary handwritten notes to make your gift even more special.

Just choose the gift option at checkout or drop us an email.

Do you offer trade or wholesale pricing?

Absolutely. We love working with interior designers, stylists and businesses. Email us at hello@aloraa.co.uk to chat about trade partnerships or bulk orders.
