Description

Some cards are discarded with the wrapping. Others end up on the mantelpiece, or tucked into the back of a book, or pinned to a wall for reasons the recipient couldn’t entirely explain. The difference is nearly always the design.

The Versailles Fig Tree card carries a delicate watercolor illustration of a potted fig tree — the kind grown in the orangerie at Versailles, in painted terracotta containers wheeled inside for winter and back out to the parterre for summer — rendered in soft washes against a gentle sky. A quiet card for a garden lover, a housewarming, or any occasion that wants its correspondence to carry some sunlight. Interior blank, matte finish, envelope included. Packs of 8, 16, or 24.

A Note from Jeff

The potted citrus tree is one of the recurring images in the visual culture of the French formal garden: the fig, the lemon, the orange, grown in painted terracotta containers at Versailles since the time of Louis XIV. On a card, the same image does what it always did in the decorative arts: it brings the garden inside, at a scale suited to the occasion.
