Antique Victorian micromosaic and brass picture frame. Made circa 1870 - 1890. Measures a little over 3 inches tall and 2 3/8inches wide. Unusually shaped with crenelated rectangular sides. The reserve for the picture is oval shaped with a twisted rope brass border. The frame is very finely set with tiny tesserae - the small size indicates that this might be an earlier piece. A special feature of this lovely little frame is the blown out cabochon cabbage roses that are raised well above the plane of the frame in 3-dimentional effect. The colours are very sensitively arranged, again showing greater care in the workmanship than usual. A variety of flowers in great profusion make this a particularly lovely and joyful frame. Condition of the frame is good, with no missing tesserae. Status: For Sale Reference#: 4123 Condition: good Year: 1880 Title: ANTIQUE VICTORIAN MICRO MOSAIC FRAME W CABBAGE ROSES
