Item Details
Marion Broom (1878-1962), originally began her career as an opera singer after studying at the Royal College of Music. Luckily for us, she switched at some point to being a painter of primarily still lifes of flowers in both watercolor and oil. Her popularity was established after exhibiting at many of the most important venues in the United Kingdom: the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, Walker Art Gallery, Royal Academy of Arts, Society of Women Artists and others throughout the UK. She was elected to the Royal Watercolor Society in 1924.
This charming and decorative watercolor painting was done by an artist who well knew how to depict roses. She painted them here mostly fully open, with great detail to each petal and even the stamens. Her technique was to show them with a soft appearance, making each flower a star as it supported the rest. Broom filled her whole composition with the beautiful blooms, even placing a whole rose on the table to carry the theme down to the bottom of the painting. She placed them in a simple blue bowl to work as an opposing color to the gorgeous pink, red and white blooms. She added several rose buds, interspersing them between the large bursts of color. Her use of a blue-green color for her leaves and stems acts as a perfect foil for the flowers. The artist also chose a blue-green background to further emphasize this contrast. This is a fine example that shows it was no wonder Broom was recognized for her flower paintings in both design and execution.
I have had the watercolor framed with a double mat and a painted wooden frame to best display the work.
The painting is in excellent condition, with none of the usual issues that often accompany vintage and antique watercolors. As it is a new frame, it is also in excellent condition.
It measures 31 inches wide by 26-¼ inches high, including the mat and frame.

Shipping, Handling, Insurance Policy
Shipping costs seem to be rising dramatically of late. However, we cannot lower our standards. We will always take the utmost care to make sure your items are packed well. If need be, we will have a special wooden crate built for them at additional cost to the customer. We feel it is best to have all items insured. Our shipping costs include insurance, handling fees and any required professional packing, along with USPS/FedEx charges. All framed needlework and paintings, as well as other especially fragile items, will be professionally packed by a third party.Please allow 3 to 5 days from receipt of your payment for us to properly pack and ship your item. Let us know if you have a special shipping request. We will try our best to make sure you get your piece for that special occasion.
It is our policy to not allow purchasers to use their own FedEx/UPS, etc. account numbers.
Please note: Due to the fact that shipping services will calculate the size based on the next increment (for example: 6-1/4" measurement is regarded by UPS as 7"), it is sometimes difficult to obtain the exact weight and size of an item until fully packed and taken to a shipping facility, especially larger items. Also, we have found that shipping services charge much more when a box exceeds certain parameters; sometimes this may be just a 1/2" over our calculations. These extra charges are especially true for longer distances. Therefore, please use the calculated shipping charges as a guide. However, we retain the right to adjust the shipping at time of shipment and buyer will be responsible for the adjusted price.
If for any reason the buyer cancels a sale, buyer will be responsible for a 30% restocking fee plus reimbursement of packing costs seller has already incurred.
