Antique Reverse and Surface Painted Glass Still Life of Roses

Late Victorian / Early Edwardian dual-layered glass painting featuring a beautiful, vibrant portrait-oriented still life study of pink, red, and white roses. A highly striking, tall antique wall piece with wonderful visual depth.

Features & Details:
• Orientation: Portrait / Vertical panel layout.
• Technique: A masterful combination of reverse-glass and front-surface painting. The background tones and the deep, luminous shimmer are executed from behind the glass, while the rich texture, crisp details, and fine shading of the rose petals are painted directly onto the front surface. This creates a brilliant, distinct 3D effect when viewed in person.
• Subject: A classic antique floral still life depicting an elegant vertical arrangement of roses.
• Frame: Housed in its original gilded antique wooden frame.
• Mounting: Fitted with its original heavy-duty iron hanging rings and backing cord.

Dimensions:
• Height: 96 cm
• Width: 36 cm

Condition:
Excellent antique condition given its age. The glass is perfectly intact with no cracks or scratches. The painted pigments on both the front and reverse layers remain vibrant, stable, and crisp. The original frame shows minor historic wear and a light dust/patina consistent with a piece over a century old, adding to its authentic period charm.
