A charming gilded brass and stone picture photo frame designed by Italian designer Rita Frascione, Firenze, in the 1980s.
The piece features gilded metal framing with marquetry made of brass inlaid and travertine stone in warm beige and gold colors. The back and easel are in brown-black velvet with the company logo, and an engraved signature reading Rita Frascione is visible on the brass hardware at the back.
The frame is in good condition, with minor wear on the metal framing. Two out of the four corners have a slightly open distortion, not impacting the structural shape of the frame.
