Our Curated Vintage Palm, Fern & Leaf Pairs & Sets Print Collection

Vintage Palm, Fern & Leaf Pairs & Sets

Palms, ferns and leaves from the old botanical plates, matched in pairs and sets so the prints hang as one piece. Each pair or set shares a palette of soft greens and warm ochres on a pale ground, from the tall feathered date palm and the fine, fanning fronds of the maidenhair fern to the striped leaves of the croton and the long, trailing sprays of the weeping willow.

They bring nature and the outdoors in. A pair of leaves or fronds gives a room the calm of a garden: in a traditional home they sit naturally beside antique timber, linen and books; in a coastal house they echo the greenery and the light outside. They are just as much at home in a holiday house or a city apartment where live plants are hard to keep, giving a room the feeling of greenery without the watering. For anyone who loves vintage botanical prints, a matched pair or set is the simplest way to start a collection.

How to hang them

Hang a pair side by side, close together, so the two read as one piece: above a chest of drawers in a bedroom, a console in an entrance hall or a server in a dining room. On a narrow wall, such as a reading nook beside an armchair, hang one above the other. A set of four, six or eight makes a grid above a sofa or a dining sideboard, with narrow, even gaps between the frames. Dark Kiaat Look frames suit a traditional room; Light Oak Look keeps a coastal room fresh. For single plates to build your own arrangement, see our vintage palms, vintage ferns and vintage leaves.

All our pairs and sets are priced at 10% less than buying the prints separately.

Each art print in this collection is available as a fine art Giclée print on premium 230gsm ultra-matte paper using archival inks, or as a mounted canvas: a premium imported 260gsm poly-cotton blend stretched over a 35mm Obeche timber frame. Sizes run A4 through to A0, unframed or framed in black, white, Light Oak Look or Dark Kiaat Look, and delivery is free anywhere in South Africa.
