Rare Persian Lustreware Albarello Chromolithograph, Henry Wallis, 1899

Rare Persian Lustreware Albarello Chromolithograph, Henry Wallis, 1899

Located in Langweer, NL

Title: Rare Persian Lustreware Albarello Chromolithograph, Henry Wallis, 1899 Description: An exceptionally rare original chromolithographic plate depicting a Persian albarello or apothecary jar from the 13th century. The vessel is richly ornamented with seated courtly figures framed by scrolling vegetal motifs and lustrous metallic decoration characteristic of the celebrated ceramic workshops of medieval Persia. Rendered in warm copper, gold, olive, and cream tones, the composition exemplifies the extraordinary artistic achievements of Persian lustreware production during the Seljuk and early Ilkhanid periods. The elegant figural imagery, combined with rhythmic arabesques and ornamental bands, reflects the refined visual language that made Kashan ceramics among the most admired luxury objects of the Islamic world. This plate originates from Henry Wallis's important folio Persian Lustre Vases, privately printed in London in 1899 in a strictly limited edition of only 200 copies. The publication remains one of the earliest scholarly studies devoted exclusively to Persian lustre ceramics, and individual plates from the work are today exceptionally scarce. This is an original 1899 chromolithograph and not a later reproduction. Sold unframed. Any images showing the print in a frame or interior setting are for visual impression only. Frame dimensions, matting proportions, and room presentations are not always to scale. Creator: Henry Wallis (1811–1891), published posthumously. Publication: Persian Lustre Vases, London, 1899. Date: 1899 Medium: Original chromolithograph on paper. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning, scattered foxing, and minor handling wear to the sheet edges consistent with removal from the original folio volume. The image remains bright, decorative, and well preserved. Provenance: From Persian Lustre Vases, London, 1899, privately printed in an edition limited to only 200 copies. Keywords: Persian art, Islamic art, Persian ceramics, lustreware, albarello, apothecary jar, Kashan pottery...

Located in Langweer, NL

Title: 1799 Samuel Howitt "Mares & Foals" Engraving – Original Georgian English Equestrian Print Creator: Samuel Howitt (British, 1756–1822) Date: Published February 1, 1799 Medium: Original copperplate engraving on laid paper, unframed Country of Origin: England An original late Georgian copperplate engraving titled Mares & Foals, designed and engraved by the distinguished British sporting artist Samuel Howitt. The print depicts a tranquil pastoral scene with mares and their young gathered beneath a magnificent tree in an English countryside setting. The plate is signed in the image "Howitt inv. et f.", indicating that Howitt both conceived and executed the engraving himself. At lower right it bears the publication line "Published Feb.y 1st, 1799," confirming its eighteenth-century origin. Samuel Howitt was among the foremost British animal and sporting artists of his generation. Renowned for his naturalistic depictions of horses, hunting scenes, and wildlife, his works were widely admired by the English gentry and remain highly collectible today. His engravings combine elegant composition with remarkable observational detail, making them timeless decorative works. This authentic Georgian print offers exceptional appeal for equestrian interiors, country houses, libraries, and collectors of antique sporting art. Condition: Good antique condition with light age toning and minor handling wear consistent with more than two centuries of age. The sheet retains generous original margins and presents beautifully. Presented unframed. Framed images are shown for inspiration only and not always to scale.

Antique Sugarcane Botanical Print – Saccharum officinarum, Hayne, ca.1820
Antique Sugarcane Botanical Print – Saccharum officinarum, Hayne, ca.1820

Antique Sugarcane Botanical Print – Saccharum officinarum, Hayne, ca.1820

Located in Langweer, NL

Antique Sugarcane Botanical Print – Saccharum officinarum, Hayne Plate 100 Description: This finely executed botanical engraving depicts Saccharum officinarum, the sugarcane plant, shown with scientific clarity and quiet elegance. The composition presents the full growth habit with segmented canes and flowering plume, accompanied by precise analytical details of the inflorescence and spikelets, as well as a separate cross-section of the cane. The balance between clarity and restraint is characteristic of early German academic botany at its best. The print originates from Friedrich Gottlob Hayne’s monumental work Getreue Darstellung und Beschreibung der in der Arzneykunde gebräuchlichen Gewächse, published in Berlin in the early 19th century. Hayne was one of the most important botanical authors of his time, and his work played a crucial role in standardizing the visual language of medicinal and economic botany across Europe. Each plate was engraved on copper and then carefully hand colored, combining scientific accuracy with refined aesthetic appeal. Sugarcane held enormous economic and medicinal importance in the 18th and 19th centuries, linked to global trade networks, colonial agriculture, and the production of sugar as both food and pharmaceutical ingredient. As such, this plate carries strong historical resonance beyond its botanical subject, appealing equally to collectors of natural history, economic botany, and early scientific illustration. Visually, the print works exceptionally well as a stand-alone sheet. The calm composition, generous margins, and soft hand coloring make it particularly attractive for interior settings, from classic libraries to contemporary spaces where natural history prints are used as architectural accents. Condition report: Good antique condition. Light, even age toning to the paper consistent with age. Minor surface marks and soft handling wear visible on close inspection. Plate impression visible. No major tears or losses. Framing tips: This print benefits from a wide mat to emphasize its scientific elegance. Recommended combinations include a black or dark walnut frame with an ivory or parchment mat for a classic look, or a slim natural oak frame with an off-white mat for a lighter, contemporary presentation. Avoid overly dark mats, which can overpower the delicate hand coloring. Technique: Copper engraving with original hand coloring Maker: Friedrich Gottlob Hayne, Berlin, early 19th century Keywords: antique botanical print, sugarcane print, sugar cane botanical, saccharum officinarum, antique plant illustration, hand colored botanical, 19th century botanical print, natural history wall art, framed botanical print, antique agricultural print, economic botany illustration, tropical plant artwork, colonial trade decor, kitchen botanical wall art...

Antique and Vintage Prints for Wall Decor

Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.

Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.

Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.

Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.

All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.
