Title: Rare Persian Lustreware Albarello Chromolithograph, Henry Wallis, 1899 Description: An exceptionally rare original chromolithographic plate depicting a Persian albarello or apothecary jar from the 13th century. The vessel is richly ornamented with seated courtly figures framed by scrolling vegetal motifs and lustrous metallic decoration characteristic of the celebrated ceramic workshops of medieval Persia. Rendered in warm copper, gold, olive, and cream tones, the composition exemplifies the extraordinary artistic achievements of Persian lustreware production during the Seljuk and early Ilkhanid periods. The elegant figural imagery, combined with rhythmic arabesques and ornamental bands, reflects the refined visual language that made Kashan ceramics among the most admired luxury objects of the Islamic world. This plate originates from Henry Wallis's important folio Persian Lustre Vases, privately printed in London in 1899 in a strictly limited edition of only 200 copies. The publication remains one of the earliest scholarly studies devoted exclusively to Persian lustre ceramics, and individual plates from the work are today exceptionally scarce. This is an original 1899 chromolithograph and not a later reproduction. Sold unframed. Any images showing the print in a frame or interior setting are for visual impression only. Frame dimensions, matting proportions, and room presentations are not always to scale. Creator: Henry Wallis (1811–1891), published posthumously. Publication: Persian Lustre Vases, London, 1899. Date: 1899 Medium: Original chromolithograph on paper. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning, scattered foxing, and minor handling wear to the sheet edges consistent with removal from the original folio volume. The image remains bright, decorative, and well preserved. Provenance: From Persian Lustre Vases, London, 1899, privately printed in an edition limited to only 200 copies.

Antique Sugarcane Botanical Print – Saccharum officinarum, Hayne Plate 100 Description: This finely executed botanical engraving depicts Saccharum officinarum, the sugarcane plant, shown with scientific clarity and quiet elegance. The composition presents the full growth habit with segmented canes and flowering plume, accompanied by precise analytical details of the inflorescence and spikelets, as well as a separate cross-section of the cane. The balance between clarity and restraint is characteristic of early German academic botany at its best. The print originates from Friedrich Gottlob Hayne’s monumental work Getreue Darstellung und Beschreibung der in der Arzneykunde gebräuchlichen Gewächse, published in Berlin in the early 19th century. Hayne was one of the most important botanical authors of his time, and his work played a crucial role in standardizing the visual language of medicinal and economic botany across Europe. Each plate was engraved on copper and then carefully hand colored, combining scientific accuracy with refined aesthetic appeal. Sugarcane held enormous economic and medicinal importance in the 18th and 19th centuries, linked to global trade networks, colonial agriculture, and the production of sugar as both food and pharmaceutical ingredient. As such, this plate carries strong historical resonance beyond its botanical subject, appealing equally to collectors of natural history, economic botany, and early scientific illustration. Visually, the print works exceptionally well as a stand-alone sheet. The calm composition, generous margins, and soft hand coloring make it particularly attractive for interior settings, from classic libraries to contemporary spaces where natural history prints are used as architectural accents. Condition report: Good antique condition. Light, even age toning to the paper consistent with age. Minor surface marks and soft handling wear visible on close inspection. Plate impression visible. No major tears or losses. Framing tips: This print benefits from a wide mat to emphasize its scientific elegance. Recommended combinations include a black or dark walnut frame with an ivory or parchment mat for a classic look, or a slim natural oak frame with an off-white mat for a lighter, contemporary presentation. Avoid overly dark mats, which can overpower the delicate hand coloring.

Antique Bird Prints Set Crane & Heron Tropical Birds Chromolithographs c.1895 This elegant pair of late 19th-century natural history prints presents two striking compositions of exotic bird species in their natural habitats. The first depicts the East African crowned crane, shown with its distinctive golden crest and graceful posture beside water, accompanied by additional birds and chicks in a lush wetland setting. The second print features a night-heron alongside a boatbill, both rendered with careful attention to form and behavior, set within a tranquil riverside landscape. Executed as high-quality chromolithographs, these prints display soft tonal transitions and refined detail typical of the finest illustrated zoological publications of the period. The subtle coloration and balanced compositions create a harmonious pair, making them particularly suitable for display together. Both images combine scientific observation with decorative appeal, reflecting the late 19th-century fascination with natural history and exploration. The scenes are rich in atmosphere, with gentle backgrounds that enhance the presence of the birds while maintaining a calm and sophisticated aesthetic. This pair works exceptionally well in a variety of interiors, from classic studies to contemporary or coastal settings. Displayed side by side, they create a refined and cohesive wall arrangement, ideal for collectors and interior designers seeking natural history subjects with strong decorative value. Condition report: Good condition overall. Light age toning and scattered foxing, primarily in the margins. Minor edge wear consistent with age. Images remain clean and visually strong. Framing tips: Best presented as a pair in matching dark walnut or black frames with generous ivory mats. For a lighter interior, a natural oak frame with a soft cream mat also works beautifully. Maintain equal spacing for a balanced, gallery-style presentation. Keywords: antique bird prints set, crane bird print antique, heron bird print...

Title: Antique Horse Racing Print by Henry Alken, Hand-Colored Sporting Etching Description: A lively and highly decorative hand-colored sporting etching titled Racing, designed and etched by the celebrated English sporting artist Henry Alken and published around 1822 as part of The Sporting Repository or the related series The National Sports of Great Britain. This dynamic early 19th-century composition captures the excitement and spectacle of an English horse race at full speed, with elegantly mounted jockeys charging across the course before a densely gathered crowd of spectators. The scene perfectly embodies the energy and theatrical atmosphere of Regency-era sporting culture. Alken masterfully conveys movement through the extended forms of the galloping horses and the animated positioning of the riders, while the immense crowd in the background creates a vivid sense of public excitement. The dramatic sky and broad racing field add depth and atmosphere to the composition, making it both a fascinating historical document and a visually striking decorative artwork. Henry Alken (1785–1851) was among the most important English sporting artists of the 19th century. Renowned for his depictions of horse racing, fox hunting, coaching scenes, and country sports, Alken became one of the defining visual chroniclers of British sporting life during the Regency period. His works were widely admired for their lively draftsmanship, humor, and keen understanding of equestrian movement. Publications such as The Sporting Repository helped establish sporting art as one of the most fashionable collecting categories of the era. This engraving combines etching and aquatint techniques with delicate original hand-coloring, producing subtle tonal transitions and rich atmospheric depth. The restrained palette and panoramic composition give the print an elegant decorative quality highly suited to classic English interiors, libraries, gentlemen’s clubs, equestrian collections, or refined sporting rooms. Today, original Alken sporting prints remain highly sought after by collectors of equestrian art, Regency decoration, horse racing memorabilia...
