Description

A delightful oil on canvas depicting a still life of purple flowers, lavender and a red butterfly. English School. The George Rowney & Co canvas stamp verso dates the work c.1880-1890s. Monogrammed with an interlocked 'VC' in red to the lower left.

The work is very well executed, with accomplished use of colour and light; the work appearing almost three-dimensional. The work is housed in a period gilt frame that has some small losses in areas (please see photographs) but generally displays well.

A striking work.

This nineteenth-century oil painting on canvas depicts a still life botanical study of purple flowers, lavender and a small red butterfly set within an ornate giltwood and gesso frame. The Victorian English School artwork incorporates acanthus leaf corners, bead moulding, and fluted moulding alongside an interlocked red monogram to the lower left and small surface losses to the frame. The overall dimensions measure 40 cm high, 34 cm wide, and 6 cm deep. Placement suits traditional interiors, hanging above a sideboard or within an English country house scheme to introduce natural motifs and rich gold and purple tones to a wall.

FAQs

19th-century botanical still life paintings feature precise representations of flowers, insects, and natural specimens, influenced by Victorian scientific exploration and interest in botany.

Artwork from this period typically consists of natural pigment oil paints applied to woven linen or cotton canvas, displayed within gilded wood or composition gesso frames.

Authentic period paintings show age-appropriate craquelure across the paint surface, natural darkening or oxidisation of varnish layers, and historic joinery on canvas stretchers and wooden frames.

These pieces integrate into contemporary spaces by hanging above console tables, forming part of a curated gallery wall, or providing contrast within minimalist, dark, or traditional scheme rooms.

Dust gently using a dry soft brush without liquids or solvents, keep away from direct sunlight, and maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent cracking or warping.
