French Vintage Botanical with Antique Frame - No. 7
About a year ago, I came across an old vintage botanical notebook from Paris, originally likely created by a student of the botanical arts (c. 1940), with original handwriting to describe each one. The pages were falling out, so I wasn’t even really sure what I’d do with it, but I couldn’t pass it up. But framing in French frames seemed like a beautiful idea.
Note these are the actual, original 3-dimensional plant samples, not prints.
Prices are based on the botanical and how many are in the frame. They are also based on the frame itself, as some are new, some are vintage or upcycled and some are VERY old antique frames. And all include the cost of the framing. All of them have either the original glass or glare-free, conservation plexiglass. Shipping with insurance is included.
Please email with any questions.
Botanical No. 7
This is an authentic antique wood frame I just found in France and is really just beautiful. The frame itself is very old (c. 1850-80) given its hardwood nature and its very unique corner method (see photos of how the corners are put together.)
The botanical is one page of botanicals with two specimens. The botanicals are Renouee des Oiseaux - Knotweek of the Birds (technically a weed and an herb) and Renouee Amphilbie, a flowering plant version of knotweed. And yet both so beautiful.
The finished framed size is approximately 14” x 11.75” x 1”. The glass is non-glare, conservation (UV protected) plexiglass. This frame comes with our favorite hanging device - Wall Buddies. Shipping and shipping insurance via UPS included.
