Perch for a family photo

SHELF

It’s a flat surface where you might display framed memories above the fireplace.

"Perch for a family photo" plays on the double meaning of "perch." A perch can be a place to sit or rest, like a shelf where you might place framed family photos. It also subtly hints at the word "shelf" itself, since that’s where people often display pictures—making it a clever, concise clue for the answer.
