A decorative mid-20th century maritime oil painting on board, depicting a ship at sea. This is a studio work, hand-painted in oils but likely produced in multiples for the decorative market, rather than as a one-of-a-kind collector’s piece.
The painting is presented in a substantial gilt wood frame dating from the mid-20th century (c. 1940s–1970s). The frame was crafted in a revival style, borrowing from 19th-century designs with its carved foliate corners, beaded inner liner, and rope-edged outer molding. The construction and finish on the reverse confirm it as a later, decorative example rather than an antique 19th-century frame.
Condition:
The painting is in excellent vintage condition with stable oil paint on board and no signs of flaking or loss. Minor wear is visible around the frame edges and corners, consistent with age. The ornate wooden frame retains its original gilt finish, which shows expected rubbing and softening to the high points, enhancing its timeworn character. The verso features a typical mid-century studio label marked "Panel / Plaque" and a secure hanging wire. Overall, this piece is structurally sound and visually striking, ready to hang.
