THIS FANTASTIC ~~ LARGE ~~ VINTAGE EASEL FRAME AWAITS YOUR BID! This frame is the most exquisite and detailed micro mosaic frame I believe I have ever seen. The photos do not do justice to the perfection of placement of the tesserae (glass tiles). The delicate red tiles in each of the areas trimmed with deep cobalt blue gives the entire frame a look of "jeweled elegance". The other tesserae colors are in various shades of light to medium blue along with white. The entire frame is trimmed in brass gold toned "roping" and each section in the design is accented with the same golden rope design. The filigree gold toned "feet" of the frame compliment the entire design beautifully. This gorgeous work of art measures 5 3/8 " wide and stands 3 7/8 " tall. THE PHOTO IS AN ORIGINAL AND DATES FROM 1904! I know that because the beautiful little girl on the left is my great grandmother Ruth at age 4. Italy is the country of origin and is imprinted into the back plate of this elegant frame. All tiles are securely intact and the glass is in good condition. The easel stand works well and holds the frame at a wonderful angle for viewing. (It does not make the frame lean backwards a great deal like some frames of this type are prone to doing). Please email any questions prior to bidding or at least 24-hours before the close of the auction. I
