About the Item

La Flore Décorative The Art of Floral Ornamentation in 1896 This beautiful print is part of La Flore Décorative, a collection of floral-inspired ornamental designs published in 1896. The work exemplifies the artistic movement of the late 19th century, where nature and decoration merged to create highly stylized yet organic compositions. With influences drawn from Art Nouveau, Japonisme, and classical European motifs, this piece showcases Henry Lambert’s mastery in blending natural elements with decorative applications. The design presents a lush arrangement of peonies and other delicate blossoms intertwined with ornamental elements that suggest applications in textiles, ceramics, wallpaper, or furniture design. The soft pastel palette of pinks, blues, and creams is enriched by darker accents in the decorative panels, creating a refined contrast that highlights the intricate details. Each element is meticulously drawn, demonstrating an appreciation for botanical accuracy while incorporating artistic stylization that lends itself well to applied arts. Art Nouveau, which flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was characterized by flowing lines, organic shapes, and a return to natural inspirations. This print embodies these principles, evident in the curving stems, delicate shading, and the harmonious integration of flowers with structured decorative motifs. The presence of ornamental insets within the composition suggests that these floral arrangements were meant not only as artistic renderings but as inspiration for designers working in different mediums. The strong influence of Japonisme, the Western fascination with Japanese aesthetics, is also evident in this piece. The circular plate-like design, featuring stylized florals and subtle color gradations, is reminiscent of Japanese ceramics and prints. The interplay between asymmetry and balance, a hallmark of Japanese art, gives the piece a dynamic yet elegant appearance. These elements reflect the broader cultural exchange that influenced European decorative arts at the time, leading to a distinctive fusion of Eastern and Western artistic traditions. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a timeless decorative piece. Collectors of Art Nouveau prints, botanical illustrations, and decorative arts will appreciate its blend of artistry and function. Whether displayed in a private collection or used as a design reference, it remains a testament to the era’s appreciation of natural beauty and artistic craftsmanship. Condition Summary and Framing Tips The print is in good condition, with some natural toning around the edges due to age. The colors remain vibrant, and the details of the lithograph are well-preserved. There are no visible tears or major creases, making it a highly collectible piece. Framing Tips A gold or brass-toned frame with subtle Art Nouveau detailing would complement the floral and ornamental elements. To preserve the print, museum-grade UV-protected glass is recommended to prevent fading. A soft cream or pastel-colored mat can enhance the warm tones of the artwork while keeping the focus on its intricate details. For a striking display, consider pairing it with other botanical or Art Nouveau pieces in a gallery-style arrangement.
