❧ CONDITION NOTES
The black lacquer ground shows minor surface scratches and a few light scuffs, most visible on the back and along the rim under raking light. The hand-painted floral bouquet stays vivid, with small areas of expected paint wear to a few blooms, and the gilt scroll border is intact with light rubbing to some gold lines. The original foil label is present and legible, and a D-ring hanger is installed on the back so it arrives ready to hang. No rust or dents. Any wear is shown clearly in photos.
✴ STYLE IT LIKE A DESIGNER
Hang it as the anchor of a grandmillennial gallery wall, over an entry console, or above the dining-room sideboard where the pastel florals pop against a deep, moody wall color. It leans into Victorian, traditional, cottagecore, and French country — the collected old-world layer designers use to make a new room feel like it has history. It also works flat as a bar-cart or coffee-table tray when you want it in the mix.
