A striking mid-to-late 20th century vintage oil painting on canvas, featuring two bold red poppies set against a richly textured gold background. The petals are rendered with expressive brushstrokes, capturing depth and vibrancy, while the gold ground provides a dramatic contrast.

The work is signed in the lower corner (appears to read J. Ridgway or similar), though the artist remains unknown. The canvas is stretched on a simple wooden frame and is ready to hang.

Condition

Good vintage condition overall with age-related wear. The gold background shows light surface scuffs and marks, particularly visible in angled light, consistent with its age and medium. The canvas edges and back show handling marks, but the image remains strong and highly decorative.

Dimensions

Approx. 76 cm {30”}× 74 cm [29”] (unframed).

Era

Mid-to-late 20th century (c. 1960s–1980s).

Why we love it

The oversized floral design makes this a statement piece, ideal for bringing a splash of colour and vintage drama into a room. Its textured finish and bold palette mean it works equally well in eclectic, bohemian, or modern interiors.
