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
This print is made on hand-processed paper, highlighted with subtle gold and sealed with beeswax for an authentic parchment feel. Please note that colors can look slightly different from screen to screen.

In case your print creases during the travel, as it usually does travel for some time, you can safely warm it up with a hair-dryer, and the wax will melt back right into it. You can also use a lighter, which is a much faster method, but be careful to keep the flame either above the paper or parallel to it (which means holding the paper vertically) so it doesn't smudge or even catch fire. The chance of the print actually creasing is very small, as they are rolled in bubble-wrap and shipped in a cardboard box.Also, be sure to keep the print out of the direct sunlight, as it can melt or fade.
