Framed Still-Life Oil – Basket of Red Apples, Ornate Gilt Frame, 20″ × 18″

Rich jewel-toned apples spill from a wicker basket in this classical still-life oil on canvas. Highlights of straw-gold wheat and teal tabletop planks set off the glossy reds, creating a timeless farmhouse-kitchen palette. The painting is presented in a deeply stepped ornate gilt frame with acanthus-leaf corners and ribbed liner—turning a compact 7½″ × 9½″ canvas into a striking wall jewel.
