Set of Three Large-Scale Framed Botanical Specimens

About the Item

A striking tribute to the art of botanical collecting, this set of three large-scale framed specimens captures nature at its most graphic and refined. Each plant—an Ostrich Fern, a Bead Fern, and Canadian Wild Ginger—has been carefully dried, preserving its bold silhouette and turning its natural greens into rich shades of ochre. Mounted on crisp white paper and presented in custom lacquered burl wood gallery frames, the trio feels both scientific and artistic. In the lower right corner of each, the specimen’s Latin name is penned in sweeping cursive, lending a romantic, archival touch. Long a favorite pastime of naturalists and aesthetes alike, collecting pressed plants marries curiosity with beauty, creating lasting portraits of the natural world. Hung together, these three make a powerful statement—rooted in history, yet unmistakably modern.
