This charming pair of original oil paintings features delicate floral arrangements—one of yellow roses and the other of daisies—set in vibrant vases. Executed with fine detail and a soft, warm palette, these works are characteristic of mid-20th-century still-life painting. Both pieces are housed in their original ornate, multi-tiered gilt frames with linen-textured inserts, which add a classic, layered depth to the presentation. Celia Walsh-Diehl was a prolific South African artist known primarily for her traditional still life studies, with a specialized focus on floral arrangements. Born in Bloemhof, her career spanned several decades, during which she became a familiar name in the South African art market. Her work is characterized by a soft, romanticized style and a mastery of botanical detail, often captured in small-to-medium formats. Her paintings frequently appear in local fine art auctions and are sought after by collectors of traditional South African floral art.
Condition: Both paintings and frames appear to be in good vintage condition. The oil on canvas/board shows no signs of cracking or discoloration, and the gilded frames remain structurally sound with only minor age-related wear to the finish. Dimensions: 32.5cm x 27.5cm
