ANTIQUE early 19thC FRENCH Botanical engraving Palm trees/ Natives Framed 1840s:
$195.00


Welcome to my store:
I am offering a very nicely framed Botanical engraving circa 1840 made in France.I purchased this piece in the early 1980s at a famous NYC Antique print dealers booth known as Florilegium, at the NY Flower show. (I still have original receipt for this print and the double matted framing), which cost more than my listing price on .
The price is far less than I spent and compared to cost of framing today; so it is quite a bargain for a really nice early 19th century engraving.This piece was professionally framed with a gold gesso frame and double matted to complement the style of the art.The outer mat is a textured grass style in beige tones in keeping with the tropical image of palm trees theme. Inner mat is acid free contrasting green with a beveled edge.
The print is titled Botanique, Palmiers, Plate 9. It is an image of three species of Coco Palm trees and a group of three natives dressed in simple white clothing. One is wearing a Crucifix necklace indicating the Christian influence of missionaries at the time of the artwork.The bottom of print has the following: J. Delarue pin dapres d\' Orbigray P. Bertrand, editeur Annedouche sculp. The engraving is framed with Non glare glass.Dimensions of this piece are 14 1/2\" wide by 18 1/4\" (frame); the image area of print is 8 1/2\" by 12 1/4\". It is a very solid frame: The entire piece weighs 3 pounds 4 oz before packing materials.
The packing will include cardboard over the glass, bubble wrap and an outer cardboard box for safety. It will be insured for full value as well and I ONLY ship fragile items via usps PRIORITY mail.
All items come from my personal collection and ship from my smoke free home. See my other antiques from Dolls to Porcelain and jewelry & clothing in my store. Thanks for stopping in.
