About the Item

Superb floral micromosaic worked into a basin of wood, circa 1870-80, late Victorian Grand Tour masterpiece. This frame is 19" tall, and 12.5" wide and holds the old original thick beveled mirror with aperture or mirror opening measuring 10" x 8.25" oval. Not a single colored glass tesserae missing from the frame. Very slight lifting on the very top ones, but only the slightest imperfection there and nothing that will draw the eye away from the stunning floral bouquets and the massive size of this frame. The frame is entirely composed of wood and glass, and is nearly 2" thick with the backing and easel stand figured in. The old original easel stand is sturdy, holds the vanity frame at a fine angle. There is not a fixture attached for hanging on a wall, but one could easily modify this elegant Old World work of art to hang on the wall, instead.

Very good to excellent condition for age and type. Not a single colored glass tesserae missing on this massive frame. There are 2 age splits to the arched wood that frames in the mirror, one at 12 and one at 6 o'clock position, visible in our images. Otherwise no damage to the wood. The back had, at some time, been taped on rather than using the screws that mount the backing, and while we did remove all the pasty glue residue left by the unfortunate tape, you can see a slight discoloring to the wood on the back of the frame if you look for it. I'm sure it could be improved with some stain. We'll leave the decision to our buyer.
