About the Item

Antique Botanical Prints – Decorative Set of 10 Bedstraw Plant Engravings Description: This elegant set of ten antique botanical engravings presents a refined study of bedstraw and related wild plants, rendered with precision and subtle hand coloring. The plates share a soft, harmonious palette of greens and gentle yellows, making the group visually calm and highly decorative when displayed together. Each composition is thoughtfully balanced, with slender stems and delicate flower clusters floating against warm, lightly aged paper. The uniform format and restrained coloration allow the set to function as a cohesive wall installation rather than a collection of individual scientific illustrations. When arranged as a grid or linear series, the prints create a serene, rhythmical presence well suited to modern, classic, or transitional interiors. This group is particularly attractive for interior designers seeking authentic botanical imagery that adds texture and intellectual depth without overpowering a space. Ideal settings include living rooms, libraries, hallways, bedrooms, boutique hotels, wellness spaces, or refined commercial interiors where natural themes are desired. Originally created as botanical reference plates, these engravings now stand firmly as decorative artworks. Their understated elegance pairs beautifully with natural materials, neutral wall colors, and both contemporary and traditional furnishings.

Antique English Botanical Prints – Elegant British Wildflowers, Sowerby c.1902
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique English Botanical Prints – British Wildflowers for Elegant Interiors c.1902 This elegant group of six original hand-colored botanical plates originates from English Botany; or, Coloured Figures of British Plants, Third Edition, Volume IV, edited by John T. Boswell Syme and published in London by George Bell Sons in 1902. The illustrations are based on the celebrated work of James Sowerby and J.E. Sowerby, whose plates are considered among the most accurate and visually refined records of British flora. The selection illustrates a harmonious group of native British plants, each shown with scientific precision and subtle coloring. Included are the Common Earth-nut (Bunium flexuosum), also known as Pig-nut, a hedgerow plant once valued for its edible underground tuber. Two related meadow species appear: Common Burnet Saxifrage (Pimpinella saxifraga) and Greater Burnet Saxifrage (Pimpinella magna), both historically associated with herbal remedies and grazing land. Aquatic and riverside flora are represented by Great Water-Parsnip (Sium latifolium) and Narrow-leaved Water-Parsnip (Sium angustifolium), commonly referred to simply as Water Parsnip. Completing the group is Perfoliate Hare’s-ear (Bupleurum rotundifolium), a distinctive species admired for its round, clasping leaves and architectural form. Each plate presents a full botanical specimen alongside detailed studies of flowers, seeds, and root structures, reflecting the scientific and artistic standards of late 19th- and early 20th-century botanical publishing. The calm palette, fine line work, and ample margins make these prints particularly attractive for interior decoration, fitting seamlessly into classic, contemporary, or nature-inspired spaces.
