This exquisite photograph frame is perfect for displaying a favourite memory in true style. Barovier, based on the island of Murano in Venice, is a world renowned Italian glass-making company that has been in operation since 1295. The photograph frame features a rectangular shape with a solid brass clean internal frame. The outer part of the frame is made of hand wrought twisted Murano glass by skilled artisans, with each piece unique due to the nature of the glass-making process.
