This botanical model from 1920 depicts a group of two Holubinka revovita mushrooms with burgundy caps and cream stems. Originally used in a school or university, the piece falls under the educational natural history style and suits a gentleman's library. The mushrooms are made of hand-painted plaster and mounted on an original square wooden base covered with natural moss and a typed paper label to the front. The wood displays rounded edges, visible grain texture, and light signs of age, chips, and marks. The entire object measures 8 cm high, 12 cm wide, and 12 cm deep. Today, this decorative item works well placed on a bookshelf or a study desk. The composition includes gilled cap details beneath the larger mushroom and a maker's stamp on the underside of the base in German and Czech. The piece is in excellent antique condition with light use consistent with its age.

FAQs

Mycological and botanical models were created as three-dimensional educational aids for universities, schools, and museums during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to facilitate the study of plant anatomy without perishable specimens.

These models were commonly constructed using plaster, papier-mache, wax, or terracotta, mounted on wooden display plinths with natural dried elements such as moss or lichen, and finished with hand-applied paint.

Authentic models feature hand-painted details, natural age-related surface patina or minor paint wear, typed or printed paper botanical labels in Latin or native languages, and solid timber bases.

Place the object on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece alongside leather-bound books, brass scientific instruments, or framed natural history prints to create a cabinet of curiosities aesthetic.

Keep the model in a dry environment with stable humidity to preserve the delicate plaster and dried organic elements. Dust gently using a soft, dry artist brush and avoid liquid cleaners or direct sunlight.
