- Dimensions: Measures approximately 15" tall by 9" wide.
- Condition: The colorful floral artwork is exceptionally vivid with clean paint lines and intact foil backing. The lower mirror glass has a tiny bit of expected vintage silvering wear, including one distinct age spot in the lower right area that anchors its vintage look. The brown paper backing is fully intact with an original hanging wire and a sturdy modern sawtooth bracket added for secure hanging.
