Wall Of Beauty


Aside from my love of rare antique textiles and books,
 my most recent passion has become
 antique paper.

Today this "art wall" installation was completed featuring 27  (yes...27)
 copper botanical engravings from 1707.

These 300 year old pieces came out of the very rare book 
"Voyage to Jamaica"
Sir Hans Sloane, the man responsible for these pieces; was responsible for
 The Natural History Museum in London.

This radiant 9' x 7' archival framed art installation is for sale at A Beautiful Mess
 and available as a collection or purchased individually.

If you happen to find yourself in the area, please stop in and enjoy the view.

Wouldn't you love to showcase this "Wall of beauty" in your home?

Have a wonderful weekend!
