The composition depicts roses and smaller blue flowers growing amongst dense green foliage, with suggestions of an old garden wall and architectural elements appearing softly in the background.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eRather than a formal still life, the flowers are shown growing naturally within a garden setting. The large pink and cream roses form the focus of the composition, surrounded by layers of leaves, stems and smaller blooms painted in muted greens, earthy tones and touches of pale blue. The loose, expressive brushwork gives the scene a wonderfully atmospheric quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe painting is executed directly onto a white ceramic plaque, an unusual support that adds considerable interest to the piece. Areas of age-related paint loss reveal the pale ceramic beneath and form part of its visibly aged surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe substantial oval frame is made from wood with applied decorative ornament and a gilt finish. Floral motifs appear at intervals around the frame, complemented by finer moulded borders around both the inner and outer edges. The gilding has developed considerable wear, rubbing and patination over time, while one section of the applied decoration on the right-hand side has been lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAt 58 cm high and 51 cm wide, this is a generously sized antique floral painting with enough presence to work beautifully as a standalone wall piece, above a console or chest of drawers, or incorporated into a collection of antique paintings and decorative objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSourced in: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSouth West France\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLate 19th century\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: \u003cem\u003eWood \u0026amp; ceramic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes it special: \u003cem\u003eIts beautiful garden subject and ceramic plaque\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eFrench Antique Still Life Oil Painting in Gold Frame Details:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eHeight: 22.8” \/ 58cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eWidth: 20.1” \/ 51cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eWeight: 2lbs 11oz \/ 3.4kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eCondition: Antique condition with wear consistent with age.
