Still Life Oil Painting of Chrysanthemums and Oranges

This item is an oil painting depicting a still life composition, framed in a substantial, ornate gilded frame. The central subject of the painting features a bouquet of chrysanthemum-like flowers in shades of orange, peach, and coral, arranged in a tall, slender brass or gold-toned vase. The flowers exhibit intricate petal details and are accompanied by green foliage. To the lower left of the vase, two ripe oranges with green leaves and a stem are depicted, alongside a clear, empty drinking glass with a cylindrical shape, reflecting some light on its surface. The background of the painting is a dark, muted brown or olive tone, providing a stark contrast to the vibrant colors of the foreground elements. The painting technique appears to involve visible brushstrokes, suggesting an oil medium, possibly on canvas. A signature is visible in the lower left corner, though it is not clearly legible from the provided image. The frame itself is wide and elaborate, constructed of wood or a similar composite material, finished with an aged gold leaf or paint. It features classical-inspired ornamentation, including acanthus leaf motifs and a pronounced beveled profile, contributing to a regal aesthetic. The inner edge of the frame has a narrow, light-colored (possibly off-white or cream) linen or painted liner, separating the artwork from the ornate gold. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, tears in the canvas, or major chips to the frame, though minor wear consistent with age and handling would be expected. The style suggests a mid-20th-century impressionistic or realist approach to still life, possibly created between the 1950s and 1980s, reflecting a traditional decorative art piece.
