FAQs

Trompe loeil floral still life paintings feature realistic botanical arrangements designed to deceive the eye into perceiving three-dimensional depth, often depicting flowers inside architectural niches or urns influenced by Dutch Golden Age traditions.

These artworks typically utilise oil pigments on canvas or wood panel, housed within carved or moulded timber frames finished in gold leaf or gilt paint.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural craquelure across the paint surface, age-appropriate oxidation on the canvas stretcher or panel back, and precise layering of botanical detail.

Position the artwork above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table as a focal point, pairing it with neutral wall tones or dark moody paint shades to accentuate the classical subject matter.

Dust the surface gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoid direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading, and maintain stable relative humidity levels.
