What is this Vitis vinifera (grapevine) botanical print?

It’s a vintage Vitis vinifera (grapevine) botanical print laid out like an old herbal study page. You see the leaves first, then the fruit, plus small labeled details that make it fun to look at up close.

Where does the original grapevine illustration come from?

This image comes from Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen, a late 19th century German herbal. It was published in three volumes (1887, 1890, 1898) and designed to be clear and easy to read.

What makes this grapevine wall art feel “authentic” on the wall?

The page has that “organized nature” look: real plant forms, but arranged like a reference sheet. That balance is what makes grapevine wall art work so well in kitchens, dining spaces, or a home office.

Will it arrive safely with international shipping?

Yes. We ship worldwide and pack prints rolled, wrapped in bubble wrap, and placed in a sturdy cardboard box, so they hold up well in international shipping.

Can I order a custom size, and how is the print finished?

Yes. Choose a standard size on the product page, or message us for custom sizing. Each print is made on hand-processed paper with softly burned edges, then finished with gold paint highlights and a beeswax finish for an authentic parchment feel.

Vitis Vinifera (Grapevine) - Köhler, 19th century. (Grapevine Wall Art)

This print gives you grapevine as an old herbal study page, clear and easy to read. You get the leaves first, then the fruit and small labeled details that pull you in when you stand closer. Printed on warm parchment style paper, it has a calm, old book feel that looks right in a kitchen, dining space, or a home office, especially next to warm wood and simple decor.

About this print

This print shows Vitis vinifera (grapevine) from Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen, a late nineteenth century German herbal published in three volumes (1887, 1890, 1898) with color images made using chromolithography, a period color printing method. On this page, flowering and fruiting twigs sit side by side with labeled botanical details, so the whole plant makes sense at a glance.

What makes it work on the wall is the balance between “natural” and “organized.” It still feels like a living plant, but it also reads like a neat reference page. If you want to stay in the same Köhler world, Citrus Limonum keeps that same clean layout, just with blossoms and fruit arranged in a different way.

Craft & finish
Every replica we make is individually hand-processed in our family workshop. We finish the paper with a traditional beeswax seal to give it a warm, heavy texture. Our team also adds subtle gold paint details by hand to help the artwork truly shine. To complete the look, we hand-burn the edges to give each piece the feel of a true historical artifact.

While our smaller sizes are perfect for gallery walls, our 43x61 cm Large replica is a museum-scale centerpiece. Because of the size, the hand-processing and beeswax application take much longer. This extra time and care ensures that every centimeter of the historic illustration is preserved with a rich, authentic glow.

Your handmade historical replica is finished with a traditional beeswax seal to create an authentic parchment texture. Because of this artisan process, care is slightly different than a standard poster:

Flattening: If your print has a slight curve from shipping, simply unroll it and place it under clean, flat weights (like books) for 24–48 hours.

Removing Creases: The beeswax finish is flexible. If a crease appears, gently warm the area with a hair dryer on low heat. As the wax relaxes, the crease will vanish into the paper. Note: Avoid open flames to ensure the safety of your art.

Display & Environment: To preserve the rich colors and wax texture, display your print away from direct sunlight, radiators, or humid areas. High heat can soften the wax, and UV light can fade historical inks over time.

Framing Tip: For the best archival look, we recommend framing behind glass in a dry, room-temperature environment.
