Herbaceous Peony by Ogawa Kazumasa | Vintage Botanical Art

A Vintage Masterpiece of Delicate Grace

Step back into the 19th century with this exquisite Herbaceous Peony by Ogawa Kazumasa. Part of his celebrated floral series (1896), this artwork is not a painting but a hand-colored collotype—a pioneering photographic technique. The result is a breathtakingly realistic image where the soft pinks of the peony petals and the deep greens of the foliage are captured with scientific precision yet imbued with an artistic, painterly soul. It is a timeless celebration of nature's elegance.

Curated for the refined home, this piece is "Visual History." It adds a touch of Victorian charm to a Vintage Bedroom, brings botanical sophistication to a Formal Dining Room, or creates a serene focal point in a Quiet Study.

Styling & Vastu Wisdom

• Symbolism of Romance: In flower language, the peony symbolizes romance, prosperity, and a happy marriage. The herbaceous variety specifically represents bashfulness and compassion.
• Vastu for Relationships: The gentle pink hues and lush foliage connect to the South-West (Relationships) zone. Placing this art here is believed to nurture love, understanding, and emotional balance within the home.
• Decor Pairing: This vintage botanical style pairs beautifully with antique furniture, brass or gold frames, dark wood accents, and rich textiles like velvet or lace.

The Merideewar Difference: Gallery Excellence

To preserve the delicate details of Kazumasa's original work, we use museum-grade printing. Here is why Merideewar is India’s trusted choice for vintage art:

• Museum-Quality Giclée Printing:
  • We use 12-color Epson UltraChrome HD inks. This technology is essential to capture the subtle gradients of the hand-colored petals and the deep, velvety blacks of the background—ensuring the print looks like a genuine antique, not a modern reproduction.
  • Paper Recommendation: Enhanced Matte Paper is the perfect choice to replicate the smooth, non-glossy finish of the original collotype plate.
• Superior Framing & Protection:
  • Shatterproof Clarity: Our framed prints use premium Cast Acrylic. It offers crystal-clear visibility while protecting the delicate artwork from dust and damage—lighter and safer than glass.
  • Canvas Care: If you choose canvas, it is sealed with a professional Varnish Spray to protect the soft colors against fading and moisture.
  • Frame Styles: A Gold frame enhances the vintage, Victorian appeal, while a Black frame focuses the eye on the dramatic botanical details.
• Guaranteed Safe Delivery: Your art arrives Ready-to-Hang. We use robust 3-layer packaging to ensure zero damage, delivering safely to Tier 1, Tier 2, and remote cities across India and the globe.
