Custom Herbarium Framing
Ashley Holmes Design offers bespoke herbarium framing services designed to honor the story of your collection. In close collaboration with you and our master framer, each piece is thoughtfully preserved with handmade craftsmanship, transforming your botanicals into pressed flower framed art that can be treasured for generations.
Our custom framed herbarium process uses acid-free mats, conservation backing, and UV-protective glass to safeguard delicate antique pressed flowers, petals, stems, and root systems. These museum-quality materials protect your botanical art from sunlight, moisture, dust, and environmental damage while preserving each specimen’s natural beauty and integrity.
An Ashley Holmes Design framed herbarium is not simply protected, it is carefully preserved as museum-quality botanical art. Transform your curated collection of antique pressed flowers and vintage botanical specimens into timeless pressed flower framed art that celebrates both botanical history and natural beauty.
Framed Herbarium Art & Pressed Flowers
Custom framing options:
A quiet collection of pressed flowers, each one carefully preserved as an original herbarium study. Roots remain intact, stems curve with grace, petals faded to blush, parchment, and muted green, the soft poetry of time captured beneath glass and against aged paper.
Framed as art in a custom gold gilt frame with a cream mat, it balances restraint with quiet grandeur. The gold leaf edge catches light in passing, never boastful, always deliberate.
Not merely décor, but a witness to history. A single piece hung in a study, layered into a gallery wall, or standing alone, it brings the sense that beauty is collected to be honored, not merely admired.
Timeless. Intentional. Endlessly refined.
Hand-gilt, cream silk, and the faint suggestion of a European conservatory on a damp April morning. Custom-made… of course! No two frames are alike because they refuse to be. Used twenty-seven times in Ashley’s own Herbarium Room, where antique and vintage blossoms are pressed, preserved, and given the dignity they deserve.
The frame itself… an elevated but approachable design that’s not too precious. Gold leaf edges just imperfect enough to be human. A cream silk mat that softens and elevates without smothering. And always, a harmony that allows each frame to stand alone while belonging to the family.
Perfect for your growing antique pressed flower collection that’s always in bloom, or for the secret garden you’ve been meaning to keep.
