Indian Floral Still-Life from the Midcentury Period with Flowers and Calligraphy

About the Item

An Indian vintage framed still-life of vertical format from the mid-20th century, with white, orange and blue flowers topped with calligraphy. Born in India during the mid-20th century, this vintage framed still-life exudes charm and elegance with its vertical format and delicate floral composition. The artwork showcases an array of white, soft pink, orange, and blue flowers, meticulously arranged to create a harmonious and eye-catching display. Topping the composition, a section of calligraphy adds an extra layer of cultural richness, connecting the floral motifs with traditional Indian artistic expression. The flowers are beautifully framed by a matting adorned with intricate scrollwork motifs, further embellished with a profusion of petite flowers that gracefully complement the main design. The piece is set inside a molded frame, whose color palette subtly echoes the hues of the flowers, enhancing the overall aesthetic. This careful framing not only protects the artwork but also elevates its visual appeal, making it a standout addition to any interior space. This vintage Indian still-life, with its blend of floral beauty and calligraphic elegance, is ideal for adding a touch of refinement to any home. Whether placed above a demilune table, chest-of-drawers, or side table, it will enliven any wall with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The vertical format makes it particularly suited for narrow wall spaces, where it can draw the eye upwards and create a sense of height. With a total of four frames of similar style available, each priced individually, these pieces offer the opportunity to create a cohesive gallery wall or to distribute the frames throughout a home for a consistent decorative theme. At $590 each, these artworks bring a unique blend of mid-century Indian artistry and timeless elegance, perfect for those looking to infuse their home with cultural depth and visual interest.
