On offer is a delicate and eye-catching glass micro mosaic floral picture frame, likely made in Italy in the mid-20th century. Finely arranged in a palette of cobalt, cornflower blue, soft yellow, and white, the millefiori-style tesserae form dense floral garlands around a classic arched shape.

This piece is a stunning example of traditional Italian micromosaic technique — a labour-intensive artform developed in Rome during the 19th century, where tiny glass tiles are set into brass or metal bases to create richly textured decorative objects.

Despite its compact scale, this glass micro mosaic floral picture frame brings remarkable visual interest, with its hand-set glass, scalloped edge, and charming floral precision. In very good condition and fully functional with its original brass easel back, it’s ready to display a photo measuring approximately 3 x 2.25 inches.

🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES:
Micro mosaic frames like this were produced in Italy — especially in Rome and Florence — from the late 19th through the mid-20th centuries. Often sold as tourist souvenirs or gifts, they reflect both skilled craftsmanship and a vibrant decorative tradition. The technique involves placing tiny rods of coloured glass into intricate designs, then polishing the surface flush. While no maker’s mark is visible, the style, weight, and brass construction suggest Italian origin, likely post-war era.
