Description

Our eyeglass case reproducing Severin Roesen's lavish depiction of vividly colored flowers in a densely packed bouquet will not get lost in the bottom of your tote or briefcase.

Severin Roesen's lavish tabletop array is crowded with blooms from all seasons--topped by a crown imperial and including lilacs, poppies, daylilies, tulips, irises, roses, morning glories, and nasturtiums, among others--and reflects the mid-nineteenth-century American taste for scenes of natural bounty. Strong, dense flower forms at the brightly lit center balance with more sinuous, silhouetted stems that reach outward to the edges of the composition.
Roesen simultaneously elevated still life painting in America and charted a new direction for its practice. He spent much of his career working for local patrons in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, northwest of Philadelphia, but his influence extended across the country.

The hard shell case is lined with plush styrene inside to protect your glasses from scratches.  It also includes a glasses cleaning microfiber cloth for keeping your glasses clean.
