<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gekkota, post: 160728, member: 2629&quot;]I&#039;m new to antiquing and feel so lucky to have found this forum--what a great source of knowledge!</p><p><br /></p><p>I acquired this large mosaic--it is 20&quot; tall by 40&quot; wide--and I am looking for opinions regarding it&#039;s age and value. I bought it at a thrift store in the metro DC area. I am stumped because the blue and green glass pieces look newer than the broken shards. (Or maybe they&#039;re not...) I cleaned the tiles with a damp cloth--the discolored spots on the shards are part of the tiles, not dirt. </p><p><br /></p><p>The mosaic is mounted on a board with three hangers because it is very heavy. It looks like the back of the mosaic itself is covered in some type of brittle paper--in the photo you can see a small rip. All feedback welcome--as I said I am new to this!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]43808[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]43809[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]43810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]43811[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
