A reverse painted silhouette on convex glass, overlaid onto an embossed daisy print background — the embossing adding a third layer of texture to an already layered object. The built-in hanging loop appears unused; two tacks on the back are likely the original hanging method. One available.

For a collector of vintage silhouette art, a lover of cottage or farmhouse décor, or anyone who appreciates a small decorative object with genuine age and character.

Convex glass silhouettes like this one were popular decorative pieces from the 1930s through the 1950s, and the embossed floral backgrounds were often as much the point as the silhouette figures themselves — a small manufacturing detail that added dimension and texture at a time when most decorative wall pieces were flat.
