Boletes Mushrooms – Antique Botanical Lithograph Set, 1885
This attractive two-plate set of large-format botanical lithographs illustrates a diverse range of European mushrooms, combining architectural parasol forms with richly textured Boletes and coral-like fungi. Published in 1885, the plates reflect the late 19th century’s fascination with precise fungal classification while offering strong decorative appeal.
The prints were produced under the direction of Dr. Wilhelm Fünfstück, a respected German botanist and academic associated with the Royal Polytechnic Institute in Stuttgart. Renowned for his work in mycology, Fünfstück’s illustrations are valued for their scientific accuracy, balanced compositions, and refined use of colour.
Together, the two plates create a visually engaging dialogue: one dominated by tall, sculptural mushrooms, the other by dense organic textures and varied forms. The restrained palette of warm browns, soft greens, and muted reds allows the set to integrate seamlessly into both classic and contemporary interiors. Displayed side by side, the prints form a cohesive diptych well suited for living spaces, libraries, or hospitality settings.
Both sheets retain their original central vertical fold, as issued, reflecting their original publication format. Offered unframed, the set provides flexibility for custom framing to suit individual interiors.
Condition report:
Good antique condition. Light age-related toning consistent with late 19th-century lithographs. Central vertical folds present to both sheets, as issued. Minor edge wear; no significant damage or restoration observed.
Framing tips:
For a cohesive presentation, frame both prints identically with generous ivory or parchment mats and dark walnut, ebonised, or muted gilt frames. Hung as a horizontal diptych, the contrasting compositions create a strong yet balanced focal point.

Maker: Dr. Wilhelm Fünfstück, Germany, 1885
