A distinguished collection of four vintage Finnish herbariums, each featuring a carefully preserved botanical specimen accompanied by its original handwritten identification label. The pressed flowers and foliage display a beautifully subdued natural palette—from lavender and ochre to sage, russet, and soft brown—while their delicate, sculptural forms retain the quiet poetry of a historic botanical study.
Each specimen is presented against a warm ivory ground with a generous white mat and housed in a substantial gilt frame enriched with restrained neoclassical detailing. The luminous gold finish lends the collection a refined decorative presence while preserving its scholarly, archival character. Displayed together, these herbariums create an elegant and cohesive statement, ideally suited to a library, garden room, traditional sitting room, or layered gallery wall. A compelling union of natural history, European craftsmanship, and timeless decorative art.
Collected in the years 1956-1958. Ready to hang.Dimensions
17.25"W x 20"H x 1"D
