The circular frame is punctuated by 13 evenly spaced spheres, (one is missing) a classic “bullseye” detail referencing the original colonies and adding rhythm to the form. The convex glass subtly distorts and reflects the surrounding space, creating movement and light rather than a direct reflection. Well suited for an entry, above a chest or fireplace mantel, or layered into a traditional gallery wall, it brings a sense of structure and historical reference while remaining highly decorative.
