<p>[QUOTE=&quot;blooey, post: 1337139, member: 12007&quot;]This is a modern interpretation of a traditional 17thc Dutch &quot;flower piece&quot;, (vase of flowers on a ledge) produced for the interior decorator market. I&#039;m not sure if these were made in Holland (I always assumed so) or in Italy. They turn up from time to time sometimes in oval frames. Some of them I&#039;ve seen go back almost a hundred years although mostly they date from the 1950&#039;s on through to the end of the 20thc.</p><p>Once Chinese decorative paintings flooded the market, I think the industry producing these artworks in Europe petered out.</p><p><br /></p><p>This could also be a Chinese piece of course! Corner detail bracing on the back of the frame looks more Euro though ...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
