SALE Vintage Italian MOSAIC Glass Tile Tesserae Mosaic Easel Picture Frame

Collectibles : Decorative Arts

 

This lovely vintage Italian miniature glass mosaic picture frame is alive with the brightest of turquoise, yellow, red, white, black, leaf green, and marigold hues.

The frame measures 2 9/16” high by 2” wide. The oval opening accommodates a photo of 1 ¾” by 1 5/16”. The hand-set design incorporates hundreds of novelty-cut “tesserae” or glass tiles. In the lower corners are two larger red blooms; a white archway of white flowers cut from floriform canes rim the curved top of the frame. The red and white border is made of tiles which meld both colors in the each tile.

To remove the protective gold-plated backing you simply insert a pin into the little hole at the top. The protective glass pane is intact and scratch-free. The twisted wire easel makes this a table-top frame but you can easily slip a ribbon or cord onto it to hang the frame on a wall. This vintage Venetian mosaic mini artwork is in excellent condition and is a loving way to display the image of a special friend or relative.

This is a store “Special” and does not qualify for further discount, however, most shop items do. New pieces arrive each day so please take time for a browse!
