Condition

This is a genuine vintage item. The artwork exhibits a beautiful patina and an intentionally heavily textured, cracked finish to the background that gives it its unique antique character. The wood panel is solid and includes a brass mounting triangle on the reverse, ready for hanging. Please review all high-resolution photographs closely to fully appreciate the texture and condition.
