In Antique Mission / Craftsman Oak Frame

Offered is a beautifully preserved late-19th-century German Jugendstil chromolithograph depicting a pair of woodland grouse in a richly detailed forest setting.

The composition is strikingly romantic — the male stands elevated upon a mossed stump, alert and watchful, while the female forages below among autumn leaves and berries. The scene is framed within an elegant flowing Art Nouveau arch, typical of European decorative portfolios of the 1890s.

The coloration remains remarkably fresh and vivid: warm umbers, olive greens, soft creams and muted berries — all layered in classic chromolithographic depth. When turned gently in the light, the surface retains a subtle period sheen consistent with 19th-century lithographic printing on smooth paper.

Age

Circa 1890–1900

(German Jugendstil decorative plate)

Condition

The print presents beautifully.

There is very slight historic lifting from old mounting at the center which creates a faint ripple under close inspection. It does not distract when framed and is barely noticeable in normal display. Colors are strong, margins clean, no foxing, no major flaws.

Frame

Housed in an antique Mission / Craftsman style oak frame with new backing paper that complements the warmth and earth-tone palette of the artwork. The pairing feels cohesive and appropriate to the era — a wonderful decorative presentation.

Dimensions

Image approximately 7 ¾” x 11 ¾”

(Frame measurements approximately 18x12)

The print remains in excellent antique condition. There is very slight, age-appropriate lifting from historic mounting which creates a faint surface ripple visible under close inspection. It does not distract in display and is barely noticeable when framed.

⸻

This piece works equally well in:

• Arts & Crafts interiors

• Rustic cabin settings

• Traditional libraries

• Nature-inspired spaces

It would make a thoughtful gift for a wedding or anniversary house warming, etc. — a woodland pair captured in harmonious balance.

A handsome and atmospheric example of late-19th-century European decorative printmaking. See less
