Handcrafted in the UK
8 x 6 (6 x 8) Picture Frames
In the UK, these frames hold artwork measuring 15 × 20cm. In the US, the same frame is sold as 8 x 6 inch (6 x 8), holding a 15.2 × 20.3cm picture. A 3:4 shape that suits phone photos, small prints and illustrations, and a great size for shelves, desks and small gallery wall clusters.
For a border around smaller artwork, add a mount for these frames. Compare 13 × 18cm (5×7in), 20 × 25cm (8×10in) and A5. This size looks great in our thin and natural wood styles.
Every frame is handmade to order by Guild Certified Framers, with gallery-grade, shatterproof acrylic with UV protection. Explore 100+ finishes in all picture frames.

What size is a 15 x 20 cm frame?
In the UK, it holds a 15 × 20 cm picture. The outside is bigger by the moulding width, for example about 22 × 27 cm with a 35 mm moulding.
Is 15 x 20 cm the same as 8 x 6 inches?
Nearly, but not exactly. 8 x 6 inches is 15.2 × 20.3 cm, a few millimetres bigger. In the UK we make this frame at 15 × 20 cm, and in the US at 8 x 6 inches. If your print is in exact inches, measure it, and choose made to measure if it's larger than 15 × 20 cm.
What fits in a 15 x 20 cm frame?
A 15 × 20 cm picture fits exactly. With a mount, smaller pictures also work: a 6x4 photo (about 2.4 cm border all round) or an A6 print (about 2.3 cm at the sides and 2.6 cm top and bottom).
