It features a spectacular, thick border crafted from clear Murano glass, masterfully worked to create a dramatic, undulating ribbed texture that catches and refracts the light beautifully. The glass surround gently frames a central rectangular window encased in aged brass, which is securely held at the top by a distinctive, ribbed brass clip that adds a clean geometric contrast to the organic waves of the glass. On the reverse, the piece preserves its authentic period backing and a sturdy brass easel stand, showing a wonderful, authentic patina that speaks to its history and vintage charm. Perfect for collectors of mid-century Italian design or anyone looking to add a touch of timeless Venetian sophistication to a desk, mantel, or side table, this rare decorative piece remains a striking example of early 20th-century luxury. Brass is in original patina, glass is in perfect condition. See less
