A decorative antique Japanese-style reverse-painted glass panel depicting two elegantly dressed women in traditional kimono, one reclining while reading a letter and the other standing beside a screen, set against a warm amber-gold background. The vivid orange, red, black, and cream tones give the scene strong visual appeal, while the dark wooden frame is topped with an ornate brass crest featuring an Asian longevity-style symbol. The piece shows age-related wear throughout, including surface scratches, losses and rubbing to the frame, patina to the brass mount, and discoloration/wear visible on the back panel, consistent with age and display. A charming decorative wall piece with strong Japonisme character, ideal for collectors of Asian décor, antique reverse-painted glass, or geisha-themed artwork. Approx. frame size (in): 16 x 22.75 x 0.75.
