The Flowering Rush

A delightful early 20th-century British botanical watercolour depicting a flowering rush, its delicate pink blossoms perched atop long, slender green stems. Originally painted as a field study, the work retains its handwritten identification, collection date and location, giving this charming little specimen a wonderful sense of history and personal observation. The simplicity of the composition allows the flower's elegant silhouette to take centre stage, while the beautifully considered Harry Eagle marquetry frame, with its contrasting timber and playful circular inlay, lends a distinctly contemporary edge. A lovely meeting of natural history, traditional craftsmanship and quietly decorative charm. Keep out of direct sunlight and gently dust with a soft cloth. Please note this item is final sale.
