Photo and illustration frames

Cape Best frames are much more than simple furnishing accessories: they are stories, journeys and pieces of memory transformed into design. Each piece is born from the recovery of wood from disused boats, doors and windows, carefully selected and handcrafted in Cape Town, South Africa. This makes each frame a unique piece , full of character and history, perfect for enhancing photographs , illustrations , artistic prints or small works.

All frames in this section will be available on our site until May 15, 2025. After May 15, unsold frames will be removed and replaced with new, unique items.

Collection: Reclaimed Wood Frames

Made one by one, our frames are distinguished by their authentic style and quality materials. Wood, marked by time and use, is preserved in its original state to become a sustainable, elegant and personality-rich piece of furniture.

Unique by nature: sustainable and certified frames

Each Cape Best frame is original and certified: on the back of each one you will find a label guaranteeing its origin and that it has been sanitized (fumigation), carried out at origin. This process makes the wood safe and durable, keeping intact its natural beauty and imperfections, which tell of a previous life, perhaps in the middle of the ocean or among the colors of South African cities.
