Circa 1900 French Floral Still Life of Roses, Oil Painting in Ornate Gilt Frame

A refined circa 1900 French floral still life of Roses, painted in oil with soft colour transitions and elegant detailing. Decorative and timeless, this work is presented in its original richly carved gilt frame.

This charming French still life features a carefully arranged bouquet of roses and garden flowers displayed in a green glass vase. Pale creams, soft pinks, warm yellows, and rich reds are harmoniously balanced against a muted background, creating a composition that feels both abundant and graceful.

Painted around 1900, the work reflects the enduring popularity of French floral still lifes at the turn of the century. The artist combines traditional academic training with a lighter, more painterly touch, allowing the flowers to feel fresh and lively without excessive formality. Subtle highlights and delicate layering of colour give the petals depth and softness, while the darker background draws the bouquet forward.

The palette is warm and refined, making this painting highly decorative and easy to place in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Floral paintings of this period were especially valued for their elegance and their ability to bring colour and life into the home year-round.

Good antique condition, the painting has recently been cleaned and revarnished with the paint surface stable. The frame shows gentle wear and patina, enhancing its period character. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and housed in its original ornate gilt frame, featuring richly worked detailing and a warm patina that complements the floral subject beautifully.
