Please note that I will be separately listing two Japanese reverse paintings on glass today. This is an antique Japanese reverse painting on glass of a lake harbor scene. It is in its original frame. Please use your judgment. The overall frame measures 14 3/4 inches high x 18 3/4 inches wide (37.4 cm x 47.6 cm). The painting measures 12 inches high x 16 inches wide (30.5 cm x 40.6 cm). In addition to being painted on the back of the glass, there are also some scattered accent areas with what I believe is either mother of pearl or abalone shell. The wood back is a little loose so the painting moves back-and-forth a little. It seems that if you secure the wood back a little better it will stay in place. I do not like to repair things so I did not touch this. However, I will package it securely to make sure it does not move around. It’s not that big a deal but I wanted to mention it. You can still hang it up the way it is and no one will know the difference! There are some scattered blemishes to the painting. The frame is definitely original and has the original wood backing. However, I believe someone may have painted it over many years ago. It weighs a little over 2 lbs.
