A Suite of Eight English Botanical Engravings, Late 19th Century
A distinguished and cohesive set of eight antique hand-colored botanical engravings, believed to be English in origin and dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. Each work presents a finely detailed botanical study, with roots, stems, leaves, and flowering structures rendered with scientific precision and understated elegance.
These engravings reflect the strong British tradition of botanical illustration, where such works were produced both for agricultural reference and for domestic display. The restrained palette and balanced compositions lend the set a timeless, scholarly quality.
Each engraving has been custom framed in a gilt wood frame with a classic profile, paired with Belgian linen matting and museum-grade UV-protective glass. The consistent framing elevates the works into a unified series, making them ideal for installation as a grid or salon-style arrangement in a library, kitchen, dining room, or study.
A rare opportunity to acquire a complete, professionally framed botanical suite of English character, ready for immediate display.
