About the Item

This exquisite composition seamlessly blends antique craftsmanship with contemporary artistry, featuring an array of real butterflies meticulously arranged by Hasharat within an antique Napoleon III-era (circa 1890) cylindrical glass dome. The display showcases species such as the green-spotted Graphium agamemnon, vibrant orange Danaus chrysippus, striking black-and-yellow Papilio demoleus, delicate white Appias albina, and richly patterned Hypolimnas bolina, among others—each poised in lifelike flight upon a twisting hazel wood branch. The 19th-century dome, with its graceful elongated oval form and historical character, rests atop a refined black wooden base, providing an elegant contrast to the vivid natural specimens. This one-of-a-kind piece captures the ephemeral beauty of nature through a modern lens while preserving the charm of a bygone era, making it an exceptional acquisition for collectors and connoisseurs of unique decorative art. Dimensions: 12.5" diameter × 25.5" height.
