Vintage Mid-Century Oil Landscape – Swans on Lake – Ornate Gilt Frame

A beautiful mid-century oil painting on board featuring a serene lakeside scene with two white swans and tall poplar trees. The piece is signed "A. Jax" in the lower corner. What makes this piece truly stand out is the stunning, heavy gilt "swept" frame. It features intricate rococo-style scrollwork and a silver-toned inner slip that perfectly complements the warm tones of the painting. Details & Provenance: Origin: Originally framed by the well-known "A.E. Dutton & Son" of Frodsham Street, Chester (original gallery label still attached to the reverse). Era: Circa 1950s/60s. Dimensions: 34 x 42 cm (including frame). Condition: The painting is in lovely vintage condition with a natural aged patina. The frame is structurally sound with minor age-related wear to the gilding, adding to its authentic character. The backing paper is torn (see photos), but this does not affect the display or stability of the piece. Perfect for a traditional interior, a gallery wall, or as a standout piece in a "shabby chic" or eclectic home. Shipping: Will be packed securely with plenty of bubble wrap to ensure the ornate frame arrives safely.
