Floral Still Life Oil Painting in Ornate Rococo-Style Gilt Frame

This is a rectangular oil-on-canvas (or possibly board) still life painting depicting a lush, multi-colored bouquet of dahlias and zinnias in a translucent glass vase. The color palette of the flowers includes vibrant shades of white, pink, yellow, orange, and blue, set against a dark, moody background. The painting is housed in a substantial, highly ornate Rococo-revival style wooden frame. The frame features a deep profile with a brushed gold or gilt finish, accented by heavy rocaille shells, scrolled acanthus leaf corner flourishes, and a scalloped outer edge. A linen-wrapped inner slip with a gold fillet serves as a border between the artwork and the frame. The painting shows a signature in the lower right corner, which appears to be 'P. Maurus' or similar, suggesting a mid-to-late 20th-century artist. The overall condition of the frame appears excellent with minor age-appropriate dust in the recessed carvings, while the painting maintains saturated colors with no visible craquelure or flaking in this lighting. The high-relief craftsmanship of the frame adds significant visual weight and suggests a luxury decorative piece from the late 20th century.
