..and it was never a question of it being painted or not....we are all in agreement there....the question was in regards to it being painted on a wooden facade or glass..personally i said wood because painted window glass is a liability for any business.(plus, they would have had to cut the glass around the chinese tiles at the bottom...what business would bother with that??).....suppose someone leans against it thinking it's solid or some dope tries to post a bill by stapling it to the glass.(yes people are that stupid sometimes).....i suppose some einstein here will explain that the moulding around the little windows is painted on and not actual molding, which is what it is-three dimensional moulding framing the little window...

I agree, too, that the mural was painted, and painted on wood. When I suggested the mural being some kind of fabric I would imply a glass facade with the mural attached from the inside. I don't really believe it was, but wanted to throw it out there as a possibility. However, the tiles (actually they're more decorative grates than tiles) certainly wouldn't have been installed in glass. An oversight on my part. My apologies.

I recall somebody earlier in this thread saying the little windows (display, alcove, or otherwise) were (or may have been) painted on, and I also disagree with that. The mouldings and tiles were not painted on and over, but around.
