Description
A contemporary decorative wall hanging designed in the style of an early 20th-century French architectural print or postcard. The piece consists of a central rectangular print featuring the Eiffel Tower, Paris, set against a faux-aged ochre background with an intentional crackle-glaze finish. The print is overlaid with a large circular decorative postmark reading PARIS – 1 FEVR * 09 DEPT. Text at the base of the print reads 738. PARIS (XVe), La Tour Eiffel, CROQUIS D’ARCHITECTURE, Publication Mensuelle, which translates to Architectural Sketches, Monthly Publication. The print is inset into a tall, narrow, black reflective mount, which appears to be black mirror glass or a high-gloss lacquered panel. The mount is a black-backed surface rather than a traditional silvered mirror.
