Marvelous and incredibly rare photo frame in chiseled Nile green crystal and solid brass, designed by Pietro Chiesa and produced by Fontana Arte in Italy during the 1940s. Fully original and in amazing condition, the warm golden natural patina of the brass has been left unpolished to preserve its charm and historical value. The photo frame features a thick Nile green crystal body, finely chiseled along the edges to enhance light reflection and visual depth. On the front, the glass is adorned with four small hand-carved star-shaped decorations near the corners of the photo— a detail typical of Fontana Arte production from the 1940s and 1950s. The photo frame is supported by a wonderful curved brass element on the back. The end result is a timeless and incredibly stylish decorative piece, a must-have for all high-end Italian design lovers. This unique decorative piece is perfect for elevating a desk, a living room, or a bedroom with a touch of Italian design elegance.
