RARE VINTAGE MORPHO BUTTERFLY TRAY HANDMADE BY A DEVIL'S ISLAND PRISONER 1940's
Located in Pulborough, GB
Antiques of London
What makes this piece truly special is its unique backstory. According to the attached note, this tray was handmade by a prisoner on Devil’s Island, a notorious penal colony off the coast of French Guiana. It was brought back in the 1940s by a seafaring relative, the note on the back says:
“This tray was made by a prisoner on Devil’s Island, brought home by Nevine Needham’s cousin sometime in the 1940s. At that time, he was a Second Officer in the Merchant Navy, and when ships were calling at Argentina, they had to dock at Devil’s Island because the water was too shallow on the mainland at that point.”
Butterfly wing crafts like this were often sold or bartered by prisoners and local artisans to passing sailors. This exceptional piece is not only a beautiful vintage butterfly wing tray...

X-Large 6.1ft Deep Purple Amethyst Butterfly Wings (460 lb)
Located in Ametista Do Sul, BR
Majestic X-Large Amethyst Geode Wings, An Impressive Statement of Size and Natural Artistry
▫️ Description
A pair of amethyst geodes combines multiple special characteristics, making these geode wings a rare find. These wings feature a deep purple tone, accentuated by a frame of clear quartz and their natural wing-like shape—a one-of-a-kind addition to an elegant décor where a statement energetic piece is desired.
Naturally highlighted in these amethysts, the druzy is of superb quality and beauty. The purple tone of them, often referred to as intense Lavender Purple Amethyst, pairs perfectly with the naturally polished and transparent large points, lending a lustrous quality to the specimen.
The formation of these geodes is another special characteristic. Both display a clear crystal layer as the matrix, which then allows the amethyst to grow. It’s important to note these amethyst wings...
