CATHARINA
Décor Transfer Set is a set of EIGHT (8) 12"x 8" transfers in a pad with cover.
Meet the Catharina Transfer, a tribute to Catharina Klein, whose breathtaking botanical illustrations captivated the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for her lush, romantic floral paintings with watercolour and gouache, Catharina Klein’s artistry brought life and vibrancy to the world—making her a beloved name in vintage botanical art.
Sally is especially fond of the Catharina Transfer, falling head over heels for Catharina's detailed and vibrant vintage artworks the moment she discovered them. Catharina was one of the first female artists to enter the commercial art world—a huge accomplishment for her time.
Catharina’s focus on painting for commercial postcards, detracted from her recognition as a "fine" artist. Sadly, many of her original paintings were destroyed during the war. However, it’s thanks to her work on postcards that her art has become so iconic today, continuing to inspire creators like us.
This transfer features sumptuous blooms with exquisite details and soft, painterly touches reminiscent of her signature style. From sprawling roses to charming bouquets and sweet hand painted birds perched on their branches, the Catharina Transfer is brimming with whimsy and natural beauty.
Perfect for floral clustered embellishments on furniture, creating vintage wall art, or small décor like trays and planters, this transfer is as versatile as it is delightful.
