Antique Floral Still Life Oil Painting of Flowers in a Porcelain Urn
Couldn't load pickup availability
An ornate white porcelain urn, banded in gilt and set with a classical cameo profile, anchors this dense flower piece against a near-black ground. Pink cabbage roses, a flamed red tulip, blue iris and hyacinth, deep maroon auriculas, bleeding hearts, lily of the valley, laburnum, and apple blossom spill from the vase and across the ledge below. It is a composite bouquet in the old Dutch manner, flowers of different seasons gathered in a single arrangement, a genre revived across nineteenth century Europe and painted here with real attention to the cameo urn and the cool Northern palette.
Widespread fine craquelure across the paint surface, most visible in the dark background passages and consistent with an aged oil film. Stretcher bar creases are present in the canvas. The reverse shows brown staining and some paint bleed through, consistent with an older oil primed canvas. The gilt wood frame carries a distressed finish with light wear to the gilding on all rails, and shows historical, non active insect damage to the moulding. Overall condition is good for the age. Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
