Description

This early 20th Century French botanical specimen, labelled “Alisma plantago aquatica”, was set in a simply charming painted folk art style wooden frame of the period decorated with hand painted little white flowers.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A herbarium specimen consists of pressed and dried plants mounted on heavy paper, historically preserved for scientific classification and botanical study during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Authentic specimens were carefully dried using absorbent paper, secured to card mounts with paper strips or adhesive, and fitted under glass within timber frames to protect the delicate plant matter from physical contact.

Genuine historical herbarium sheets typically feature handwritten calligraphic labels using iron gall or India ink, displaying Latin taxonomy, location data, natural paper age toning, and accurate historical mounting techniques.

Arranging framed pressed plants in gallery wall configurations or positioning individual specimens in alcoves introduces natural texture and botanical detail to contemporary, country, or traditional room schemes.

To prevent organic fading and degradation, position the framed piece away from direct sunlight, damp environments, and extreme humidity, ensuring backing materials remain acid-free.
