artistic plant identification required
Hi all, for my day job I sell antiques and like to be accurate when describing things. I have these victorian wall lights with some stylised leaves and a flower.
any ideas what they might be ? something irresistible to (red enamel) butterflies?
cheers all Paul
(I would have gone made this last year without my garden to potter in)

Definitely ivy leaves. In the Victorian language of flowers ivy represented perennial life, eternity and wedded union.
emblematic Tudor rose surrounded by stylised Ivy leaves ... sort of Art Nouveau -ish.
I'll describe as 'three butterflies circling a single stylised rose in front of Ivy foliage'
flowery language to describe a flower.
cheers
Paul
