About the Item

We are excited to present this vintage Brazilian inlaid wood tray with real Morpho butterfly wings. This vintage tray features a geometric pattern made from the wings of the brilliant iridescent Blue Morpho butterfly. Turn the tray and watch the wings shimmer from purple to blue to dusty brown. The inlay and joining of different types of wood add interest to this sturdy piece. They are finished with a glass top and a masonite board underneath. Some insects lose wings at the edges. This will be perfect as a lovely gift or just for personal use. We have deep cleaned, hand waxed and hand polished it. Condition-wise, there will be some aged-related marks, please look carefully at the pictures. Also aged related and marks of honest use.
