Description
A luminous Italian micromosaic picture frame, hand-set with jewel-toned glass tesserae forming a floral garland around a warm gilt metal oval. Each fragment is individually placed, showcasing the precision and artistry that made Italian micromosaic work prized throughout the 20th century.
The petite oval opening creates a deeply personal presentation"”perfect for a single portrait or keepsake image"”while the delicate feet and softly arched silhouette give the piece a sculptural, collected presence. Equally striking on a vanity, desk, or shelf, this frame feels more like an objet d'art than simple décor.
Discover exquisite treasures from the 17th through the late 20th century across our Chairish shops "” Rose Victoria and The Queens Landing.
