A luminous midcentury Italian micromosaic double frame, hand-set with thousands of tiny glass tesserae in rich emerald, ruby, blush, ivory, and gold tones. The oval twin apertures are framed by a lush floral garland motif, inspired by classical Roman mosaic borders and revived for the postwar luxury souvenir market of Italy.

Each tile was individually placed by hand, creating a surface that catches and reflects light with remarkable depth and movement. The gilt brass surround and folding easel back make this a striking tabletop display, originally intended for cherished portraits or travel mementos.
