Roma Gradus draws its name from the Latin for “steps”—a tribute to the monumental rhythm of classical Roman architecture.
This handcrafted photo frame is carved entirely from solid marble, selected for its natural veining and substantial presence. The stepped profile reflects the precision and geometry of imperial façades, quietly resembling the grandeur of temples, palazzi, and ancient forums. Each frame is shaped and finished by hand, allowing the integrity of the stone to speak—its surface cool and smooth, its patterning unique to each piece. Weighty and serene, it offers a sculptural way to display treasured photographs, grounding them with a sense of permanence and design heritage. Due to the use of real marble, the frame carries a reassuring weight—solid, grounded, and unmistakably authentic. Intended for both contemporary and traditional interiors, Roma Gradus can be displayed standing on a surface in portrait orientation, or hung vertically or horizontally on the wall. The insert is protected with glass, adding clarity without distraction. This is a piece made not just to frame, but to anchor—a quiet nod to history, permanence, and the beauty of enduring materials.
