Framed Reverse-Painted Floral Bouquet Tinsel Painting. This lush floral composition is a stunning example of the 19th-Century folk art tradition of tinsel painting. With a candle to illuminate the mirrored foil that is still intact behind the glass, this piece should really shine. But its deterioration also reveals some the newspaper lining the backside of the frame—adding to the layered quality inherent to the process of tinsel art.

Dimensions are 28.5 in h x 28.5 in w x 2 in d. Condition is as is; foil is falling off on much of the painting. Please call or email for a detailed condition report.
