Still Life Oil Painting by Terry Daugherty (1985) | Signed American Still Life
Viridian Eclection
The Piece
A tabletop arrangement of fruit, a pewter tankard, a ceramic bowl and a potted plant, each object spaced so it keeps its own presence. Controlled brushwork and careful attention to surface give the pewter its soft sheen and the fruit its weight. The palette stays with warm earth tones and muted greens, and light models form gently rather than through dramatic contrast. The painting is presented in a gilt wood frame.
History & Provenance
Signed and dated “Terry Daugherty, 1985” at the lower right. The painter has not been identified in the published record.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
A still life made to be lived with. Its scale and subject suit a dining room, kitchen, study or intimate sitting room, and its warm, quiet palette moves easily between traditional and contemporary interiors.
Keep it out of direct sun and away from heat and humidity. Dust the frame with a soft, dry brush, and leave any cleaning of the painted surface to a conservator.
Every piece is packed with professional-grade materials: multiple foam layers, double-boxing, directional and fragile handling labels. For large furniture we use custom timber crating. We photograph packing before dispatch and can provide images on request.

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
