Staghorn ferns from A. Archer's garden, Brisbane, ca. 1876

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  In Australia, Staghorn Ferns (Platycerium superbum) are native to lowland forests in Queensland and northeastern New South Wales. They reproduce through single-cell spores and, although they grow well in Western Australia and South Australia and, with protection from the cold, can also be grown in temperate regions of Victoria, they will not readily propagate in these cooler climates. Staghorns in nurseries in these areas has generally been sourced from natural growth in Queensland or New South Wales. Staghorns are epiphytic and do not draw nourishment from the host on which they grow. Hosts can be trees, rocks, concrete water tanks, etc. Rather, staghorns feed on falling leaves and insects. Nourishment and moisture come from the air, not from roots in the ground or from the host tree Source www.stagosaurus.com/staghorn-ferns/

Carved frame built for the opening of the Brisbane City Hall by Ed. Rosenstengel, 524 Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  1937 – Ceremonial frame in Silver Ash, carved with Queensland scenery and the words of the poem written by Mabel Forrest to celebrate the opening of Brisbane City Hall. The frame was commissioned by the Queensland Authors and Artists Association. The frame was designed by Ed Rosenstengel who developed a unique style through his own interpretation of period designs. Every piece that Rosenstengel sold was designed by him, and being meticulous about quality, every piece also received his personal inspection. Ed Rosenstengel regularly customized or reinterpreted the design of showroom items through discussions with his clients and his display rooms would have assisted his customers in visualizing their furniture prior to purchase. By all accounts Ed Rosenstengel was a quiet unassuming man, and during his brief retirement he was finally able to lead an unhurried life furthering his studies of 18th century furniture and decorative arts, whilst enjoying the wonderful furniture, silverware and ceramics that.
