Framed canvas art print of a vintage storybook forest. Perfect for cottagecore homes, fairy tale wall art, and lovers of moss, mushrooms, and mystery.
Forest Floor Mushrooms illustration by Hans von Volkmann (c. 1906) from “Strabantzerchen: Pictures and Rhymes”
Step into the storybook woods where every stump has opinions and the mushrooms are clearly having a secret staff meeting. Von Volkmann’s scene is all twilight hush and quiet gossip: scarlet fly-agarics flaunt their polka-dot caps, ghost-white toadstools lurk like underqualified apparitions, and a cluster of gold shelf fungi clings to a freshly lopped tree as if waiting for a ride. It feels halfway between a Grimm brothers backdrop and a botanist’s fever dream, the kind of place where you’d swear you heard violins, only to realize it’s just your phone’s ringtone getting no reception.
This small antique oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame made using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame. All the beauty of an heirloom without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).
Sized in our Small format, this piece makes a quiet statement on a shelf, gallery wall, or anywhere that needs a little mood and a lot of character. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.
