Description

Such a fascinating, gifted woman from the early 18th century. Certainly one of my top five botanical engravers in history.
I’ve sold many of her pages over the past four decades.
Having recently purchased several copies of a re print of “A Curious Herbal” I decided to give a copy with each sale of an original
Blackwell page I sell until all copies gone.

Look under “Works of Art” – “Botanicals” or scroll through my instagram page to see my latest unframed Blackwell arrivals.
Framed by Vicki Hutchins.

A trio of early 20th century cylindrical glass posy vases with hand engraved flowers and leaves.
18 x 4cm

Pair of beautiful Italian Murano rich pink & gold lamps. In dolphin form, in the manner of Salviati.
H.46cm with shades.
