Decorative Glass Panels ‘Golden Poppies’ By Tim Carter

Golden Poppies, is part of a series of decorative glass panels created by Tim Carter.  Set against a symbolic firey red background, the golden outline of three Poppies stand true.  The yellows and reds merge together to create a wondrous emotion. While the golden poppies are engraved by hand and enhanced by metallic paint. 

The brass base is hand-rolled and uncoated bare metal which will naturally tarnish over time.
