{"product_id":"f8-255-056-1","title":"19th c. Still Life Artwork","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMade in late 19th-century France, this chromolithograph reproduces a still life painting in the abundant style of the 18th century. The scene shows a tiered glass compote of apples, pears, grapes, and oranges, with an open bottle of champagne beside a bottle of red wine, a plate of pastries, and a porcelain teacup set on a table backed by a patterned oriental rug. Chromolithography was a printing process patented in France in 1837 by Godefroy Engelmann, a printer working in Mulhouse who figured out how to layer multiple stones of different colored inks to reproduce a painting in full color. The original gilt frame is carved with a beaded leaf border and has the small chips and scuffs of being moved between walls over a hundred and fifty years. The darkening across the surface is from candle and oil-lamp smoke that settled into the print before the age of electric light. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSylvie leans it against the wall on a kitchen shelf, lit by the candles she keeps burning through dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sylvie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48904786084063,"sku":"F8-255-056_1","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/4228\/4511\/files\/86084063_004.jpg?v=1777661823","url":"https:\/\/checkout.sylvie.co\/products\/f8-255-056-1","provider":"Sylvie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
