Condition

Overall very good condition. The patinated bronze surfaces throughout retain a rich brown patina, showing some scattered minor surface scratches and light wear consistent with age and gentle use. The inset favrile glass is beautifully mottled and presents with strong golden ochre hues with pale green and blue undertones. The glass with some light surface soiling concentrated to the contours adjacent to the pine needle overlay. The reverse appears to retain the original easel stand. Lacking a clear glass face. The opening measures 5 1/2 x 3 3/4 inches. An exceptionally attractive frame with a strong glass selection and finely etched bronze overlay.
