An intimate and wonderfully evocative little painting, presented in a handsome frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something wonderfully intriguing about the subject. These are not grand or precious objects, yet the artist has given them the solemnity of a traditional still life. The envelopes suggest private correspondence, invitations or perhaps love letters, leaving the story behind them tantalisingly unexplained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition with age-related surface character consistent with its age. The antique gilt frame retains a beautiful timeworn patina with rubbing, marks and small areas of historic wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench School\u003cbr\u003eLate 19th century\u003cbr\u003eOil on wood panel\u003cbr\u003eNaïve still life\u003cbr\u003eSealing wax, letters and writing implements\u003cbr\u003eArtist currently unidentified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing incl Frame:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 12.20 inches (31cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 14.57 inches (37cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 1.77 inches (4.5cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 8.27 inches (21cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 10.04 inches (25.5cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on IG: amsterdam_curated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003eAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
