Antique French Floral Oil Painting on Board – Signed A. Rouby

A beautiful antique French oil painting depicting a romantic floral still life, signed A. Rouby and presented in a lovely giltwood frame.

This charming composition features a delicate arrangement of flowers, including a golden yellow rose, white chrysanthemum, and soft blue blossoms, gathered in a small glass vase. Set against a rich, moody background, the flowers come to life through expressive brushwork, beautiful texture, and subtle variations of color. Scattered petals resting on the tabletop add a wonderfully intimate, lived-in quality to the scene.

Painted in oil on board, this piece is believed to date to the late 19th or early 20th century. The painting bears the artist’s signature in the upper left corner, along with a small brass nameplate on the frame identifying A. Rouby.

The original-style giltwood frame beautifully complements the painting’s warm tones and romantic character, with age-related wear and patina adding to its antique charm.

A timeless piece of French art, perfect for a gallery wall, layered antique vignette, or anywhere a little old-world romance is desired.
