The Carretti family of square Italian pewter frames is distinguished by gentle, welcoming, curves, inspired by a 17th century pewter plate, and named after Carlo Carretti, a decorative painter and late friend of Match's founder/creative director. Finished with a handsome wood backing. Match pewter is handmade by artisans in Northern Italy. Each piece is made with a lead free alloy of tin, copper and antimony that is FDA approved and food safe. Unlike silver, pewter tarnishes very slowly and requires almost no maintenance.Should you choose to clean your pewter, hand wash in warm water with a liquid dish soap. Be sure to dry the pewter completely, as water allowed to dry on pewter may cause spots. Any spots that appear can be easily removed by polishing or by gently rubbing the area in small circular motions with very fine "0000" steel wool. 2.2" H x 2.2" W
