An abundance of preserved botanicals have been used to create the forest like scene of greens and blues. The entire artwork is handcrafted, from the rehydration and mounting of the specimens to the meticulously placed flowers.
The frame is vintage - circa 1900 - including the original bubble glass. The frame itself is an antique quality item and crafted from timber. It has bevelled corners and stunning detail around the frame. At 62cm in height and 50cm wide, this is an amazingly proportioned piece of art and one of the largest bubble frames we have worked with!
