A beautiful glass mounted photograph frame attributable to the world renowned Venini in Venice, Italy. The twisted glass rope picture frame was manufactured around the middle of the 20th century and encapsulates Venini’s philosophy of elegance and art using a signature technique of stripe-like threads in his designs. Although it is not stamped Venini anywhere, his work is quite recognisable and this frame embodies the work coming from his studio in the middle of the 20th century and clearly shows age to the metalware and wood backing. It really makes a statement and would look wonderful on any sideboard or desk, marrying up well with any style of interior, whether traditional, mid-century or modern.
This particular model is most unusual due to its asymmetric shape. It is difficult to ascertain why the maestro decided to make this frame in such a manner but their skill is so great that it would be fair to assume that it was purposely executed.
