VICTORIAN FRAMED ABALONE SHELL MOSAIC ~ £150
A stunning Victorian abalone & mother of pearl floral bouquet mosaic set in black lacquered papier-mâché. The mosaic work has been embellished with hand painted details and coloured foil. The natural abalone shell flowers are in beautiful bright hues. The picture was probably once a cover for a desk blotter or photograph album and has since been framed in a more recent black painted wooden frame with a dark pink velvet mount. A beautiful and romantic piece of Victoriana.
~ Condition: Very good, no pieces of shell missing. The lacquer has crazed somewhat. Some slight wear to the black paint on the edges of the frame ~
