5 out of 5 starsMy whole experience from end to end was very satisfying! My custom order is amazing, but mostly the shipping from US to Spain was my worry. Mary Ann kept me informed in every step of the shipment and made sure what needs to be done after the item was delivered to Spain.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely stunning antique prints. I could not have hoped for any better than these. The quality and detail and the weight of the paper stock is of the highest quality. Mary Ann spent a lot of time with meticulous detailing to recreate these antique botanical s and shells and it shows! If you want the very best in print quality then look no further. I don't know much about the type of technical printing she offers but I do know the best and highest quality when I see it. As an art collector for my entire adult life I can tell you with certainty these are the very best! I hope to get the framed soon and post an image. Thank you so much. Outstanding!

5 out of 5 starsI cannot say enough wonderful things about TheOldFern! I was looking for something unique, high quality and fun. We emailed back and forth a few times, I showed them pictures of what I was trying to do and we came up with these old fern prints. TheOldFern had some wonderful design ideas to make their beautiful work pop. Here is the end result! Thank you TheOldFern for my one of a kind pieces! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

5 out of 5 starsThis is a gorgeous botanical print. The quality of the paper is very substantial and weighty...a beautiful quality. The print definition is gorgeous and so are the colors. They even added a pretty pastel grey border which is perfect for the white frame. Excited to get this framed and up on the wall and hope to post a pic soon. The print is large and was carefully packaged; delivery time was prompt. The seller provides excellent service and answers all questions and goes above and beyond to make certain you love what you are getting. I will definitely be ordering more antique prints here. They send images and recommendations making the process easy from start to finish. They even cut down the print to the frame specification to ensure it was a perfect fit. What's not to love about a seller like this?! Thank you so much!

Thanks for looking at our prints!
The Old Fern was started by two friends who decided to take a trip to the Pacific North West after graduating college. During this trip they were exposed to many fine examples of original botanical art while browsing in a rare book shop in downtown Seattle. The color plates were amazing in the various texts, but the cost was prohibitive at an average of $500 a volume. It was learned that these old books on flowers and other types of natural history were being bought up by “collectors” who would then cut out all the images in the book and resell them as individual prints in “exclusive galleries.” These originals would often be a $100 or more for an image that was stained, faded and often a very odd size due to the book’s dimensions. The friends decided that there had to be a better way make these works of art available. Through much research and effort, a process was developed for restoring these antique works and providing an economical outlet for the “average” person to obtain the restored works. This chance discovery became the foundation of The Old Fern.
The Old Fern has been actively collecting, preserving and researching botanical prints for over 24 years, and our prints are printed at the highest quality available. All of our printing is now done by us in our South Carolina shop on large format canon printers. By doing this, The Old Fern is able to offer a higher quality product while lowering the cost to our customers (how often does that happen?). We stand behind the products we sell, and offer a 10-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, just send it back to us for a refund or a replacement.
