Item description:

an eye-catching piece of architectural salvage transformed into rustic wall decor.
Embossed Tin Design: A square panel cut from a historic pressed tin ceiling tile. The metal sheet features an ornate, deeply embossed medallion pattern consisting of four symmetrical quadrants with stylized fans or floral textures flanking a central cross emblem.
Distressed Custom Finish: The front face is finished in an intense, vibrant crimson red coat with heavy white contrast paint highlights embedded into the recessed stamping to accentuate the relief details. The perimeter edges have been wrapped and folded down around a clean wooden support framework to provide structural rigidity and a flat profile for hanging.
Rear Construction: The back reveals an unpainted, dark metal surface displaying original age-related discoloration, oxidation, and historical marks. The metal is bordered by a handmade mitered wooden frame secured with metal wire staples and finishing nails.
Condition:
The tile art panel is in good salvaged, upcycled condition. The painted front surface features deliberate, heavy distressing, chipped edges, and artificially aged weathering to emphasize its vintage farmhouse style. The sheet metal remains rigid, with minor localized bending on the outermost corners consistent with historical salvage handling. The wooden rear backing frame is solid and firmly attached.
