Pair of Still Life Oil Paintings

1900 - 1920
Description

A good quality and very decorative pair of still life oil paintings dating from the early 20th Century. They are painted on board and depict a study of plums amongst yellow primrose-like flowers and there is a small birds nest with blue eggs in one painting. They are framed in ornate carved wood and gesso gilt frames with gilt slips and the paintings are protected behind glass.

They are not signed but are painted in the manner of Evelyn Chester (1875-1929).

The paintings are in good original condition. The frames have been repainted at some point but they are in good order. There are some minor signs of age and some minor losses and marks but overall they display well.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

FAQs

Victorian still life paintings frequently featured natural flora, wild birds nests, and fresh fruit, reflecting the eras strong focus on natural history, meticulous realism, and domestic decoration.

Artists generally painted with oil pigments onto wood panels, stiffened board, or linen canvas, housing the completed artwork inside cast plaster and gilded timber frames.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural craquelure across the paint layer, subtle oxidisation on the gilt leaf, age-appropriate timber backing, and traditional framing joinery.

Hanging a symmetrical pair directly above a console table or integrating them into a gallery wall adds rich texture and historical character to modern spaces.

Lightly dust the gilded frames and painted surfaces using a soft, dry brush, keeping the artwork situated away from high humidity, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight.
