Laurel Frame

The Laurel Frame is Olivia Riegel's most classically proportioned design — silver-edged beveled glass with a laurel-patterned gold or silver finished pewter border, hand-set clear European crystals, and marquise-shaped accents that give the frame a formal, almost heraldic presence. Available in 4”×6”, 5”×7”, and 8”×10” in both gold and silver finish. The laurel wreath is one of the oldest symbols in Western decorative tradition — achievement, honour, distinction — which makes this the frame that reads as a serious gift for a serious occasion: a graduation, a wedding portrait, a milestone.

The moiré silk back and tarnish-resistant finish are standard across the Olivia Riegel frame range. The easel accommodates both vertical and horizontal placement. Of the frames in the collection, the Laurel sits in the middle of the decorative spectrum — more formal than the Clover, less botanical than the Dogwood or Botanica — and suits traditional, transitional, and formal-contemporary interiors equally well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What occasions suit the Laurel Frame as a gift?
Graduations, wedding anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and formal portrait occasions. The laurel motif carries a historical connotation of achievement and distinction that makes it particularly suited to celebratory gifts.

How does the Laurel compare to the Windsor Frame?
Both are formal and crystal-set. The Windsor is all-over crystal clusters — more opulent and maximalist. The Laurel has the patterned pewter border with selective crystal placement — more restrained and architectural.

Is silver or gold more popular for the Laurel?
Silver is the more traditional choice for a formal frame. Gold works better in warm-toned rooms and with wood furniture. Both finishes are tarnish resistant.
