Framed Antique Italian Botanical Specimens, Florence, 1913

A captivating collection of nine antique Italian pressed botanical specimens, meticulously arranged in a vintage distressed frame, each labeled "Firenze" (Florence) and dated June or August 1913.

Each panel offers a glimpse into early 20th-century botanical study in Italy, showcasing delicate natural forms preserved with archival tape and annotated in period script. Originating from Florence, these specimens embody the charm of antique herbarium pages and are perfect for those who appreciate vintage science, nature art, or European decorative pieces. Beautifully framed under glass in a rustic multi-aperture frame with weathered patina, this piece blends seamlessly into interiors ranging from farmhouse to academic, garden-inspired, or European eclectic. Minor wear consistent with age; some botanical fading adds to the authenticity
