Framed Botanical Print of Red Roses

This item is a framed botanical print, likely a reproduction, depicting a cluster of red roses with green foliage. The artwork itself features a central arrangement of roses and their leaves, rendered in a delicate and detailed style typical of botanical illustrations. The roses exhibit variations in bloom, from tight buds to fully open flowers, showcasing rich red hues. The print is housed within a multi-layered framing system. An inner mat, directly surrounding the print, is a dark teal or emerald green with a subtle marbled or textured pattern. This is followed by a wider, lighter green mat, which also appears to have a slight texture or aged patina, likely an off-white or very pale green originally. The print and its mats are enclosed by a substantial picture frame. The frame itself is composed of two main sections: an inner gold-toned fillet with a slightly ornate, possibly beaded or reeded, edge, and an outer, wider frame molding finished in a darker, possibly antique gold or bronze color with a faint green undertone. The outermost frame has a somewhat distressed or aged appearance, contributing to a classical aesthetic. The overall condition is described as good; however, some light wear, dust, or very minor scuffs may be visible on the frame and matting, consistent with age and handling. The glass protecting the print appears clear, though reflections from the surrounding environment are visible.
