Mespilus Piracantha by Mary Delany – Premium Gallery Canvas

Mespilus Piracantha, Mary Delany.

Mary Delany (1700–1788) began her 'paper mosaicks' at the age of 72: nearly a thousand botanically accurate flowers, built up from hundreds of tiny pieces of hand-coloured paper on a black ground. The collection is now one of the treasures of the British Museum.

Each canvas is made to order in our West Wales workshop. The print is stretched by hand over a solid timber frame 50 mm (2") deep, with a mirror wrap so the whole painting stays on the front and the sides carry on the image. The back is finished with a black dust cover, ready to hang.

Frame depth: 50 mm (2")
Sizes: shown as width × height, in the painting's own proportions
Lead time: made to order
Delivery: free to mainland UK, the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland
