Pair of Petite French Still Life Paintings in Ornate Gilt Frames

Pair of Petite French Still Life Paintings in Ornate Gilt Frames create a beautiful scene in a room as the light reflects on the gold, and the paintings evoke a charm that only age can produce.

The still live paintings depict a vase of flowers and the other a composition of fruit and grapes.

The small paintings are set within wonderfully ornate gilt frames, richly decorated with scrolling foliage and floral details. Their warm gold finish and elaborate frames give the pair a lovely old-world French character.

The contrast between the petite paintings and their generous decorative frames makes these particularly special. Designed to be displayed together, they would sit beautifully above a bedside table or small chest, or amongst a collected gallery wall.

One charming aspect of these paintings is how they change with the light as it reflects across the frames throughout the day. It becomes a reminder of the exquisite beauty art can bring into our lives.
