I'm cleaning out my mother's atelier. This was kept in a box. It looks like someone might have tried putting a painting in it, as there's string attached, but there's no sign of use. The painting and gold leaf work are in a handmade frame. Overall, it's as clean as new. The frame has a chic color and a retro feel. It has acrylic glass, so shipping is a little less of a worry. I hope someone will use it. Please understand that this has been stored and inspected in a private home, so I ask for your understanding before purchasing.
