{"product_id":"enm-2237-small-antique-still-life-of-flowers-on-wood-unframed","title":"Antique Small Floral Oil Painting on Wood, Unframed","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA bouquet of cream, red-orange and yellow roses, a pansy and a pendant fuchsia, painted in oil on a black ground in a shaped, scalloped outline. The raised, thickly loaded highlights on the cream rose are the best part up close. It's unsigned and unidentified, which is usual for small decorative flower panels like this, many of which were painted for the trade. The black ground gives it the look of Victorian japanned decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Artist | Unidentified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Signature | Unsigned, with no marks on the reverse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Medium | Oil on wood panel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Subject | Mixed flower bouquet with roses, pansy and fuchsia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Origin | England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Age | Mid to late 19th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Panel Size | 5.5 in.

The black ground has fine craquelure and flaking across the surface, and there is general rubbing, mostly toward the edges. The most noticeable damage runs along the right scalloped edge, where the black has flaked away and a pale grey layer shows beneath. There are smaller losses along the bottom edge and a few more at the lower left corner. The flowers themselves hold well, though some lifting is visible near the edges. The panel is light in weight, and the reverse is dark with staining and spotting. It carries no labels, stamps or inscriptions. The iron hanging ring is firmly attached, and I can't say whether it is original to the panel. The panel is sold unframed.
