Fern & Vessel est. 2026
Botanical art for
the dark-leaved home.
Moody specimen prints from the great 19th-century plate books — dark-mounted, printed to order in the US. Sculpted planters to follow.
The founding series series I
Nightshade Botanicals
Six 19th-century plates — Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Köhler, Blanco, the Flore des Serres — each set on our near-black green ground the way a collector mats a specimen for a dark study wall. Monstera, snake plant, moth orchid: the plants you live with, drawn when drawing them was science.

One folio, one shelf series II
The Fernery
Four fern plates from Edward Step's 1896 folio, printed as one set and mounted as one. Bird's-nest, spider, ostrich, gold — the four silhouettes that made the Victorians build glass rooms for ferns.

Drawn in the studio series III
Rootbound
What happens below the pot: taproots, mycelium, mangroves — five original continuous-line drawings, bone ink on Nightshade with brass nodes at the growing tips. Vector originals, so every size prints razor-crisp.

The Conservatory — glasshouse scenes, in the press.
The Vessel Line in production
The planters are coming.
Geometric planters, propagation stations, and plant stands — 3D-printed in small batches, in the same palette as the plates they'll sit beneath. The first batch is in production now; the list hears first.
