About the Item

An exceptional hanging picture frame comprising 2 glass plates with beveled edges floating within a solid, heavy-gauge brass frame, all with radiused corners. So striking that it nearly functions as wall art without the addition of an actual photograph. Unsurpassed quality with perfect patina. This is the first example of this particular design we’ve encountered. Italian, strongly attributed to Fontana Arte, 1950s. Available to view in our by-appointment showroom, please feel welcome to inquire with us. *frame = 10.13 x 13.75 *glass = 8.13 X 11.75 *brass thickness = .13
