Van Gogh Switch Plate – Vase of Roses – Decoupage

Licensed artwork featuring Vincent Van Gogh’s beautiful painting Vase of Roses, sometimes called Pink Roses in a Vase because the roses and the tabletop, now faded, were originally pale pink . The work was painted from the asylum at Saint-Remy in May of 1890 just prior to his departure.

This decoupage switch plate includes most of the image from the painting and is mounted on a standard switchplate. It is then sealed to prevent scratching or water damage and packaged in a transparent gift bag. Made in Southern California.
