A charming Arts & Crafts / Aesthetic Movement floral still life dating to circa 1880, depicting a vibrant arrangement of orange, yellow and white poppies displayed in an elegant decorative vase. The striking flowers stand against a rich, dark background, creating a beautiful contrast that highlights the delicate brushwork and luminous colour palette.

Executed in oil on canvas laid on board, this delightful late Victorian composition perfectly captures the decorative ideals of the Aesthetic Movement, where beauty, harmony and nature took centre stage. The carefully painted blooms and oriental-inspired vase make this an attractive piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Presented in an elegant gilt frame, ready to hang.
