Antique Framed Oil Yard Long on Canvas (1907)

This breathtaking, 100% original antique "yard-long" floral oil painting on canvas, signed by the artist Blanche Wilson and dated 1906.

This rare, early 20th-century panoramic masterpiece showcases a spectacular, sprawling still-life composition of blooming chrysanthemums that elegantly flows horizontally across the canvas.

Anchored on the left by a lush cluster of dense, deep-green leaves and a delicate unopened bud, the bouquet unfurls towards the right with remarkable depth and movement.

The composition transitions masterfully from earthy, shadowed tones of rustic bronze and warm ochre into soft, delicate pinks, culminating in brilliant, fully-blossomed white chrysanthemums and airy buds on the far right. Set against a luminous, textured sage-green background with soft, dappled brushwork, the flowers seem to glow from within.

The painting is housed in its magnificent, heavy period-correct gilt-gesso wood frame, which features exquisite, deeply carved foliate relief detailing that perfectly complements the botanical theme.
