Antique Original Still Life Oil Painting on Board - Framed & Signed

Charming antique original oil painting on board featuring a richly colored still life of oranges spilling from a woven basket beside two glass bottles and leafy greenery. The warm palette of burnt orange, russet, deep green, and muted blue-gray gives the composition wonderful depth and an inviting old-world quality.

Signed “Wilkes” in the lower right-hand corner, the painting is presented in an especially decorative gilt frame with elaborate floral, foliate, and scrolling details. The aged finish, darkened recesses, and areas of patina give the frame beautiful character and make the piece feel wonderfully collected.

Its petite scale makes it especially versatile for styling on a small easel, layering into a bookshelf or kitchen vignette, or incorporating into a gallery wall. A lovely original piece for an English country, traditional, or collected interior.
