The piece features a substantial smoked glass border that creates a moody, translucent frame around the central image area. A thick, brushed brass insert with rounded corners provides a warm, metallic contrast to the cool tones of the glass, a combination frequently used by high-end Italian designers of the era. The authenticity of the materials is confirmed by an original oval sticker which reads "Vero Cristallo Garantito," translating to "Guaranteed Real Crystal". The craftsmanship is further evidenced by the precision-cut beveled edges of the heavy glass and the seamless integration of the brass plate. For display, the reverse side includes a sturdy, mahogany-toned easel back with a tapered support leg, allowing it to stand securely on a tabletop or desk. See less
