Our Little Family Bronze Frame
From £28.74
This solid bronze family sculpture sits within a natural wooden frame, creating a striking centrepiece for any mantelpiece or shelf. Choose between two and six individually cast bronze figures, each holding a tiny bronze heart, to represent every member of your family. The frame is engraved with '8 Years' as a nod to the traditional bronze wedding anniversary, though it suits any milestone worth marking. Bronze needs little upkeep — an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth keeps the metal looking its best as its warm patina deepens naturally with age.

Why Bronze?
Bronze is the traditional gift for the 8th wedding anniversary. An alloy of copper and tin, bronze represents the melding of two distinct lives into a stronger, more enduring union. Its warm, golden tone grows richer with time, much like a beautiful marriage.
About this piece
The family frame differs from the standing sculpture in one important respect: the figures are set within a natural wooden frame, turning what might otherwise be a keepsake into something that sits comfortably on a mantelpiece or dresser as a piece of display rather than a sculpture in the round. Each bronze figure is cast individually in solid bronze — adults and children separately — so the grouping is specific to your household rather than generic. The hand-cast quality means small variations in surface texture are expected and add to the character of the piece. Bronze's warmth deepens slowly over the years, which is arguably part of the appeal: an eighth anniversary gift that looks better at the eighteenth than it did the day it arrived. Dust with a dry, soft cloth as needed; no chemical cleaners are required.
