Antique Signed Dutch Style Still Life Oil Painting on Canvas

Pears, plums and a loose bunch of grapes come up out of an almost black ground, with one curled leaf catching the light at the upper left. It follows the Dutch fruit still life formula, but the colourman's stamp on the reverse is English. The signature is too faint for me to read, so I'm offering it as unidentified. The glass cover and the gilt frame go with it.
The painted surface was viewed through the glass, which limits close inspection. I see no craquelure or paint loss. The ground is a dark, even tone with a scattering of small light flecks near the lower right, close to the signature. The canvas does not appear to have been relined, and the colourman's stamp is visible on the reverse. It sits on a wooden stretcher with corner keys. The reverse has a brown paper dust cover with lifting and chipped edges, and a cord hanger.
The frame shows rubbed gilding, small dark spots and a few chips. The cream slip has surface scuffs. There is clear tape residue on the glass at the lower left. A glass cover is present and I have not established its age. Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
