Pomegranate Placemats

The New York Botanical Garden in association with Lunt Silversmiths, a leader in innovative design, has developed a distinctive collection of tableware, decorative accessories, and gifts inspired by some of the finest examples of botanical art in the Rare Book Collections of the Garden’s LuEsther T. Mertz Library. These exquisitely crafted pieces combine beautiful 18th-century botanical imagery with a modern sensibility.

The images on these glorious pomegranate placemats come from Plantae Selectae, issued in parts from 1750 to 1773 and illustrated by botanical master Georg Dionysius Ehret.
