Vintage SilverScene 12. 5 " X 15 " UW " Rainier Vista " - Sterling Silver - 1977
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:854223 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Unknown |
Found at an estate sale, this lovely framed vintage SilverScene of iconic Rainier Vista on the University of Washington campus is from the Franklin Mint and was issued in a limited edition. A small label on the back says "Official University of Washington SilverScene, Sterling Silver". The copyright notice indicates that it was issued by the Franklin Mint in 1977. The artwork is 7" x 9.5" inches. It's inside of a handsome triple layered brown and black frame th...at measures 12.5" x 15" inches. It weighs 2 lb. 5 oz., making it easy to hang.
This artwork appears to be under glass but a label on the back explains that it's actually embedded in clear acrylic plastic. Over the years this clear plastic has unfortunately acquired several shallow, inconspicuous scuffs and scratches. They could possibly be removed by buffing, but since they're visible only at certain angles of light, I haven't attempted to do that. I find that they detract very little from the artwork because my eye is drawn to the intricate silver design. The frame has some inconspicuous scuffs and scratches as well--some might say they give it character. A label says that the clear plastic in which the silver is embedded should be cleaned only with water and a dilute mild detergent.
If you're dissatisfied with this item in any way, you can return it in the same condition in which you received it within 14 days for a full refund. Washington state residents pay 9.5% state and local sales tax. Choice of shipping by USPS Parcel Select or Priority Mail with no extra handling charge in either case.
