|  As NC continues to build up an extensive library of maps and blueprints, our cartography collection showcases city, state, country and world maps from the 15th - 19th centuries—connecting the modern-day mind with the age-old explorer's spirit. |
 Once again we are introducing a new approach to the way we work. It is our belief that the love we put into our art is what makes it special and what sets us apart. These collections have been hand gold and silver leaf painted in our studios by a new member of our artistic crew who specializes in leafing. You will be seeing more of this skill in future pieces. | 
|  These geometric studies were originally educational plates designed to explain the role of geometry in science in 1896. The beauty in these images now is that they fit perfectly in the current mood and trend of where art is. There is a simplicity and uncomplicated, yet sophisticated, feel that makes these a very strong collection for NC. We have framed them in acrylic to give them a modern edge which once again combines a vintage piece with a modern concept. |  |

|  Natural Curiosities recently acquired the beautiful textile archives of French engraver, painter, and textile artist Paule Marrot (1902-1987). Early in her career, Marrot shifted her emphasis from painting to textiles to create expressive patterns from the 1920s through the 1950s. Marrot’s bold use of flowers, color and patterns reflect a compositionally modernist style classically associated with the Art Deco movement. Marrot’s artistic influences include the expressive writings of Marcel Proust, as evident in her work Du coté de chez Swann, based on Proust’s book In Search of Lost Time. All images copyright of Paule Marrot Editions. |  All Specimen Art are individually handcrafted, and therefore each piece is unique and limited in supply. Pieces may vary in color and size due to natural differences between specimens. |
