The French Herbarium Collection
A beautifully preserved original French herbarium specimen documenting Rosa stylosa Desv., carefully collected in the French countryside in 1903.
Hand-pressed and mounted more than a century ago, this specimen captures the graceful stems, delicate foliage, and fading blooms of a wild rose in remarkable detail. Accompanied by its original handwritten identification label, it reflects the meticulous work of early twentieth-century botanists who sought to preserve France's native flora for future study.
Collected near Cahors, France, on 25 June 1903, this one-of-a-kind botanical study is both a historical document and a timeless work of natural art. Today, antique herbarium specimens are treasured by collectors and designers alike for their quiet beauty and enduring connection to the natural world.
Whether displayed on its own or as part of The French Herbarium Collection, this specimen brings warmth, history, and understated elegance to a thoughtfully collected home.
