One of the most versatile - as well as beautiful - products that can display your photographs is the Gallery Box.
This product is imported from Ireland. It is solid! Oddly enough, the company sources hardwoods from Appalachia that travels across the Atlantic and back again. The construction is superb - a solid wood box with velvet interior lining and a hinged top that has a tempered glass window.
The unique design allows a photo to be displayed in the window with a magnetic backing that holds the matted portait in place. This means that any of the matted images stored in the box can be easily swapped out, allowing you to change the display as many times as you want.
The boxes come in white, black, and walnut wood, with two capacities: up to 20 matted prints or 30 matted prints. The 8x10 box can hold 5x7 or 6x8 prints, while the 11x14 box can hold 8x10 or 8x12 prints (size of box = print + its mat).
Buts let's talk about how versatile this is.
First, you have a collection of matted photos that are kept safe in the Gallery Box with a handsome display.
You can display any print in the window of the Gallery Box - or set it on an easel, or even frame it, changing it up as often as you like (no, I am not going to suggest you have a "Child of the Month" to give your kids the incentive for good behavior, but hey, if it works . . .). The craftsmanship of this box will adda touch of luxury to any decor.
Second, who knows what else can be stored with your prints?
Yes, I know of a situation where the box and about half a dozen prints were purchased and used to keep a beloved pet's ashes and collar, the picture in the window acting as a changing memorial to their little girl. But imagine if you had a collection of senior pictures in a Gallery Box that also housed the tassel from your child's graduation cap and the program from the ceremony. Or a collection or photos of your young dancer and her first ballet slippers. We all have items in our lives that carry meaning and stories that we want to safeguard - and the Gallery Box allows us to keep them in a spot that we can see and reminds us of what lies within that has our heart.
I absolutely love the Gallery Box for its role as a safekeeper and a display. Its eye-catching design invites someone to take it down off a shelp, open it up, and spend some time with memories!
