VINTAGE BOTANICAL PRINTS

The Golden Peony

Vintage Botanical Print in Gold

Drawn like an antique hand-coloured engraving, a single pink-and-cream peony opens in full bloom on a tall stem, flanked by two round crimson buds and broad dark-green leaves. Fine line shading models each petal, and the edges catch a light touch of gold against warm aged parchment.

It brings a soft, romantic warmth to a bedroom above the bed, or to a living room above a sofa or sideboard. It sits beautifully on cream, blush, sage or warm white walls.

The Golden Peony — Samsung Frame TV art, 3840 × 2160
How large can I print it?

The file is around 9,000 px on the long edge. That prints crisply to about 75 cm on the long edge at gallery quality, and to 130–170 cm at the distance you look at a picture over furniture. Sizes, paper and framing, in detail →

Which paper or surface?

Gold on dark grounds wants a matte or satin fine-art paper (200–310 gsm), or aluminium for humid rooms; glossy photo paper turns the black into a mirror. The pale works also take satin and baryta papers.

Which licence do I need?

Personal (€9.99) covers your own home and gifts. Any business or space open to the public — a spa, clinic, hotel, office, restaurant — needs the commercial licence (€99.99, one venue, no renewal). The venue guide →

About this work

A single peony fills the sheet: one large pink-and-cream bloom in full flower on a tall stem, with two round crimson buds waiting beside it and broad dark-green leaves below. Fine line shading builds up the petals as an engraver would, and their edges are lightly touched with gold, so the flower glows softly against warm aged parchment.

The picture takes its look from the hand-coloured engravings of the 18th and 19th centuries, when botanical plates were printed in line and then coloured by hand, sheet by sheet, for florilegia and natural history books. Those antique botanical prints were made to record a plant faithfully; here the same patient line work meets a little gilding, and a careful study becomes a quiet piece of gold wall art.

The Golden Peony suits a bedroom above the bed, a living room above a sofa or a hallway console, and it looks especially good on cream, blush, sage or warm white walls. The print file is 7168 × 10752 px, sharp to about 60 × 90 cm, so it frames well in thin gold or natural oak with a pale mat. A Frame TV version with a gallery mat is included. For a pair, hang it beside The Golden Iris.
