VTG 1950'S COLLIE DOG PICTURE - 3D IRIDESCENT THERMOSET PLASTIC, BUBBLE GLASS

Description

This is such an unusual piece! It is Thermoset plastic - a really wonderful plastic that was made in the 1950's that has a great iridescent finish. It is a 3D Bas Relief of a Collie Dog in a beautiful peach, on a pink background. The frame is metal, with bubble glass to cover the collie. The bubble glass has reverse black painting of flowers along the edges. The gold tone frame has some slight wear and scratches, but nothing significant. The glass is clean and bright with no cracks or damage, and there are no water stains or bad smells. The picture has a metal stand on the back so it can free stand on a mantle or night stand (or bookshelf), as well as a hanger so it can hang on the wall. The back shows some slight wear. The picture is from the 1950's, and has no information as to the maker or where it was made. It was, however, probably made in the US, as most of the speciality plastics like Thermoset were made in the US, at least in the beginning. It is a nice size - 8 1/2" by 6 1/2", and won't disappoint.
