New Release: Grove Plantation House, offices for the US Fish and Wildlife Services Earnest F. Hollings ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge. Dye-sublimation printed on Satin Fabric 32”x50”.
There is a treasure in South Carolina known as the Grove Plantation which was originally a land grant to Robert Fenwick in 1694. The Grove House was built in 1828 by George Washington Morris. It is built in the late-Federal-period plantation style of architecture and has the unusual feature of polygonal rooms and projecting symmetrical polygonal bays. The plantation has an interesting history of owners including abandonment following the Civil War. It is note worthy that this rice plantation house is one of only three antebellum mansions in the ACE Basin that survived the Civil War.
But wait, there is more! The magnificent Live Oak trees that align the entrance from the Edisto River drew our immediate attention as photographers. The Spanish Moss and the Resurrection Fern was spectacular during our field trip. We knew that printing on satin fabric would only enhance the beauty we experienced.
So why do we print on satin fabric? Dye-sublimation printing yields beautiful and permanent colors that are impregnated in the satin rather than printed on the surface. When trying to describe the results, visually it is crisper than a photograph/ giclée printed on canvas and softer than a photograph printed on metal.
The 32” x 50” portrait orientation is a proper size for our foyer and we enjoyed pairing it with the Cypress Trees. Are you thinking about redecorating in your home or office? We would love to help you! We hope that you will visit our store or give us a call soon!
