Vintage Greek Gold Leaf Intaglio 001

Vintage Greek Gold Leaf Intaglio 001

This is the first in a pair of vintage gold leafed intaglios featuring Greek imagery. The intaglio itself is in excellent vintage condition. To give this a contemporary spin I hand painted thick artist paper in swaths of white and black setting off the round, gold relief.  The gold leaf from the intaglio is picked up again in the framing detail with a delicate filet inset and two custom mouldings, one a white lacquer wood and the other a high gloss "pie crust". Under glass.

Measures 16.25” x 16.25” x 3”

Intaglio is 5’’
