French Vintage Botanical with Antique Frame - Large - No. 6
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. 6
This is an authentic antique wood frame from France and is a treasure in itself. The frame itself is very old (c. 1850) and does have some defects (see photos), but is in great condition for its age and has a beautiful authentic old patina.
The botanical is one page of botanicals with two specimens. The botanicals are reed grass and ryegrass with a bird’s egg blue mat board for a bright feel. In this case the reed grass has kept a beautiful blueish silver color. (Some of the photos are a little dark as I wanted to show this beautiful grass color. The truest color of the frame and mat is the main photo.)
The finished framed size is approximately 24” x 19” x 1”. There is an acid-free mat board and 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.
