About the Item
Antique Botanical Prints – Decorative Set of 10 Hand Colored Plant Engravings
Description:
This refined set of ten antique botanical engravings offers a calm, natural elegance that works beautifully in both classic and contemporary interiors. Each plate presents a carefully composed plant study, delicately hand colored and printed on softly aged paper that gives the group a warm, cohesive visual character.
The selection focuses on wild plants, shrubs, and flowering species rendered with clarity and restraint. Subtle greens, gentle floral tones, and finely engraved lines create a harmonious palette that feels organic and timeless. Displayed together, the prints form a balanced wall composition that brings texture, rhythm, and a sense of cultivated calm to an interior.
These works are especially appealing for interior designers seeking authentic botanical imagery with historical depth but strong decorative impact. The set lends itself well to linear arrangements, grids, or paired groupings, making it suitable for living spaces, studies, libraries, hallways, boutique hotels, or wellness interiors.
Originally produced as botanical reference illustrations, the prints have transcended their scientific purpose and now function as elegant decorative artworks. Their quiet presence complements natural materials, neutral walls, and both modern and traditional furnishings.

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.
