Framed Dimensional Magnolia Floral Artwork

This item is a framed dimensional bas-relief artwork depicting a bouquet of white magnolias on a deep red background. The artwork appears to be a mixed media piece, possibly crafted from sculpted gesso, plaster, or a resin material, giving the magnolia blossoms and leaves a pronounced three-dimensional effect that projects outward from the background. There are at least five magnolias visible: one large, fully open blossom at the center, flanked by two partially open blooms on the right, and two tighter buds to the upper left. The petals of the magnolias are rendered in pure white, with subtle shading suggesting their form and texture, and stamens visible in the center of the largest bloom. The leaves are depicted in various shades of green, showing veining and natural contours, contributing to the realistic appearance. The background is a rich, saturated red, providing a strong contrast that makes the white flowers stand out prominently. The artwork is housed in a substantial, ornate gilded frame. The frame features a classic, possibly Baroque or Rococo-inspired, design with intricate relief patterns, including foliage motifs and architectural elements, finished in a metallic gold or bronze tone. The condition of the artwork itself appears very good, with no visible cracks, chips, or significant discoloration. The frame similarly looks well-maintained, with its gilding intact and no apparent damage. Given the style of the frame and the subject matter, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century, possibly 1970s to 1990s, and represents a popular decorative art style of that period.
