Looking Back on the Stars

​A client recently brought this wonderful vintage postcard of the UVA observatory for framing. They picked a really charming presentation in the following:

​The postcard was floated on a slate blue/gray mat and the mat on top featured a line that was broken by a dusting of stars.  Dots of silver allow the little stars to twinkle in just the right light.

​A lovely frame from Bella Moulding encased the whole under glass.  This frame really spoke to the piece!  It's a black wooden lacquer that has silver filling the gaps in the the wood grain.  The presentation is that of soft twilight with soft blacks, dusty dark blue, and silver twinkling quietly around the observatory!
