Art Deco Butterfly Wing Cocktail Tray
About the Item
1930s Brazilian Butterfly Wing Tray of Santos, Brazil
This exquisite 1930s Brazilian tray is a stunning example of traditional butterfly wing art, featuring a beautifully handcrafted landscape scene beneath glass, created with colorful and iridescent butterfly wings. The image depicts a serene hilly water scene at sunset, with a lone boat in the distance and a graceful palm tree in the foreground, evoking the tropical beauty of Santos, Brazil, whose name is elegantly inscribed in gold paint at the bottom of the image.
Framed by a finely crafted wooden border with decorative banding, this tray exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of Brazilian souvenir pieces from the early to mid-20th century. During this period, butterfly wing trays and jewelry were popular as luxurious handcrafted mementos, prized for their shimmering natural beauty and intricate detailing.
In good condition, this tray remains structurally stable, with only light scuffing on the back corners and a non-structural crack near one of the screws, neither of which affect its integrity or display appeal.
