Early Tinsel Foil floral art - reverse painting on glass, framed

Liquid error (templates/product line 46): could not convert ProductVariantDrop into money

This is a fabulous example of tinsel foil art, made by placing crinkly metallic foil under a protective surface of reverse-painted glass. It features an abstract floral bouquet in a presentation basket topped off by a ribbon. Undated but appears to be from the Victorian era.

The bonus is that the collector I purchased this piece from documented the foil used to construct the painting before framing it. I didn't bother to check his work because the handwritten notes on the cardboard affixed to the back added to its charm. 

The black wooden frame measures 7.5" x 11.5". Excellent condition
