Pair of Antique Lindenia Orchid Botanical Lithographs – c.1885–1901 Victorian Chromolithographs

A breathtaking pair of antique orchid lithographs from the esteemed botanical publication Lindenia: Iconographie des Orchidées, produced between 1885 and 1901. These richly colored Victorian chromolithographs capture the scientific beauty and artistic mastery of late 19th-century botanical illustration, offering a rare glimpse into the golden age of orchid collecting.

Each print is professionally produced with vivid detail and lush natural hues, highlighting the structure, color, and delicacy of these exotic blooms. Published under the direction of Jean Jules Linden, a pioneering horticulturist and orchid specialist, these works were originally issued in Brussels and remain highly sought-after by collectors, interior designers, and botanical enthusiasts.

A refined choice for gallery walls, conservatories, libraries, or garden rooms, these prints are perfect for blending natural history charm with antique sophistication. Elegant, educational, and timeless.

Antique frames with the information on each flower from the coordinating pages of the same book attached to the reverse. 

I acquired them and others at the estate of two highly regarded college professors who after retirement in the 1990s turned their love for collecting into a prosperous antique business selling in Round Top as well as across the South.  They were avid book collectors, orchid enthusiasts, and custom framers who expertly framed botanicals and birds from antique books and magazines. 

Each measures 19.75” tall x 15.75“ wide framed behind glass.
