The picture frame presents well overall and remains in good condition. Currently the window frame is fitted with a thick pane of reverse painted glass. To use, it might be best if this is removed and a back board plus thinner glass insert utilized for the front. The mosaic perimeter remains in excellent condition, with one small tile missing, but the rest remain stable and vibrant. The frame stand is slightly loose at the hinge. The glass mosaic tiles of varying depths as intended by the design with a sparkling iridescence of warm hues.
