We have a number of really fine mid-late 1800s Italian micromosaic frames to list, each of which dates between c.1860-1900, and would have been Grand Tour souvenirs to that very early era of travelers who visited Italy. The mosaic is entirely worked in tiny bits of colored glass called \"tesserae\" and these are spectacular. Come and see!This one is a late 1800s mirror frame worked into a carved out wooden basin and in a stylized sliver to full moon round, it grows thicker to one side making a sliver moon effect, almost, in the rich garland of florals worked in glass tesserae. The old original thick beveled vanity glass is still intact and without chips or breaks, though you see it has some age showing to the silvering. We\'ve often corrected that by stripping the old silvering off and backing the thick old glass with a panel of newer mirror for a pristine look but to keep the old beveled glass in place. We can do this for a buyer if asked. Some prefer to keep the old silvering. Very good to excellent condition for age and type, the florals are gorgeous on this larger old frame, and those in wood basins are increasingly hard to find, higher in cost. The tesserae are all or very nearly all in perfect placement. There is a 3-D working to this one and centers and leaves recede a bit so if you note that the coloration makes it seem a glass tesserae is missing, it is not the case but is just that it is set a bit deeper than others. I see no missing tesserae, myself, though there is one white area space that might have had a very thin one in place initially as there is one spot into which the artisan might have placed just a thinnest bit, and it is easy to see in our images. Not sure about it being missing so much as never there. But it might be an open spot that was once filled. Very firm there, I will add. Superb old frame with the most popular 3-D method of bouquet, too. LOVE this one!

Return Policy:
We always honor a 3-day return on our items, and guarantee them to be as described. Money back, less shipping costs, which are not refundable, so ask questions if necessary. We\'re easy to deal with.

Shipping and Handling Policy:

You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you\'re thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.

We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. is now requiring that our clients rank us on \"shipping\". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we\'ll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.

Insurance has been eliminated as an option by , forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replacable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!

Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is recieved (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
