A single specimen, floral, with hints of thistle in bloom.

Original hand lettered catalogue notes in bottom left, hand lettered in pen and ink.

Presented in a more contemporary aged fern green frame - a very nice pairing that allows the specimen to be safe and enjoyed.

Ivory, beige, sand, rose, flax, khaki...a range of subtle colors and textures. Very appealing.

20" tall, 13.5" wide, 1" deep.

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...

Sometimes you are down to things because they are simple, authentic, and just right.

This is just such an item, as it could be enjoyed in so many places and ways.

On a beautiful porch or patio overlooking a garden? Among a collection of similar botanical prints and collections? In a diorama of uniquely French items?

It hails from a very fine Virginia collection of continental items, and we hope it returns to just such an appreciative new home. See less
