Couldn't load pickup availability
A richly painted 19th-century floral still life, dense with roses and foliage against a deep, dark ground. The blossoms feel luminous, and the composition adds drama to the wall in the most satisfying way. The dark, romantic palette reads as “Old World” and instantly adds character to new builds or renovated spaces that might otherwise feel bland. It’s immersive. Lush, saturated, and deliberately bold in the best way. If you want a floral that feels collected rather than “sweet,” this is it. Romance with teeth (romantic, but not sugary). It comes in its original 19th-century gilded frame.
Why We Love It
We rarely come across an antique floral still life like this.
Most floral paintings from this era are “well-behaved”: a vase, a basket, a planter, a composed background, plenty of breathing room. This one refuses all of that. It’s liberal, overflowing, and wonderfully direct. There’s no polite arrangement to admire from a distance. It’s essentially flowers and leaves, layered and abundant, like the painter couldn’t bear to edit the beauty down.
And the rose petals are exceptional, softly modeled, velvety, and full of depth. It rewards close viewing.

DELIVERY & RETURNS
A Note on August Shipping
Each August, much of France takes a well-earned pause to enjoy la vie. Some of our French friends and partners who help us source, prepare, and send our paintings have already headed off to do summer properly. A little patience may be required during this time. Consider it a small invitation to borrow a page from the French way of living: exhale. Orders placed during this period may occasionally take a little longer than usual. Pieces already in Los Angeles are unaffected and ready to ship as usual.
If you are purchasing for a time-sensitive project, please reach out before ordering and we’ll happily confirm the timeline for the specific piece.
✈️ Shipping & Delivery
We offer free shipping for all orders, with an expedited option available for those who consider waiting for art a form of exquisite torture. All items are insured and carefully packaged to ensure they arrive safely. Delivery typically takes 5–15 business days, depending on your location.
🇺🇸 U.S. customers: All of our pieces are exempt from import duties and tariffs. We provide the correct documentation to ensure your order clears customs smoothly.
🇬🇧 UK customers: Antique artworks are duty-free and qualify for a reduced 5% VAT at import, not the full rate.
🌍 Customers in other countries: Duties and taxes vary, but original and antique artworks often qualify for reduced or zero import fees. Please check with your local customs office for details. We’re happy to assist and provide any documentation you may need.
If you have questions about shipping or customs, please don’t hesitate to message us at hellorawbrush@gmail.com, we’re here to help.
Most of our paintings will be shipped straight from France unless specified otherwise. While we aim to send them your way as quickly as possible, very occasional delays may occur, as some of our beloved French partners have a certain je ne sais quoi and like to take their time preparing the paintings. You can’t rush good things in life, after all—and we’re talking about antique and vintage paintings here.
