An exceptional collection of fifteen authentic antique herbarium specimens, professionally framed and acquired through Bergdorf Goodman Home, New York. For more than two decades, the collection has remained together in the private collection of a prominent high-end interior designer, where it was displayed as a curated decorative installation.
Each specimen features a carefully preserved pressed botanical mounted on period paper with handwritten scientific and common-name annotations. Examples include specimens identified by both Latin nomenclature and common botanical names, reflecting their origins as educational and botanical study materials. The warm patina of the papers, delicate handwriting, and naturally aged plant forms create the timeless character sought after by collectors, designers, and lovers of antique natural history.
Unlike individual botanical specimens commonly found on the market, this offering represents a complete, cohesive collection that was thoughtfully assembled, custom framed, and selected for decorative impact. The matching solid wood frames provide a clean, sophisticated presentation that allows the specimens themselves to take center stage.
The collection offers remarkable versatility and can be displayed as a dramatic gallery wall, formal grid installation, or layered throughout a library, study, garden room, conservatory, or refined traditional interior. Their restrained palette of parchment, sepia, and botanical tones complements a wide range of design styles, including English Country, European Traditional, Organic Modern, Palm Beach, and Contemporary Classic interiors.
A rare opportunity to acquire a designer-curated collection of antique botanical studies with distinguished provenance and exceptional decorative presence.
