Soft pastels on a dark ground — daffodils on the left, pink parrot tulips on the right. The kind of florals that feel quiet and considered rather than loud. Original gold-finished wooden frames, white matting, beautifully worn. Whether original pastel drawings or fine reproductions, the texture under glass catches light in a way that printed art simply doesn't.
Turn them over and you'll find something unexpected: original retail labels reading "This Picture Framed in Sherwin-Williams." In the 1930s through 1950s, Sherwin-Williams ran heritage framing centers alongside their paint stores — a piece of mid-century American retail history that almost no one knows about. These labels are intact. That almost never happens.
Someone chose these paintings, had them framed, and hung them somewhere they loved. We found them. Now they're looking for their next wall.
