A striking antique entomological display featuring a curated collection of exotic butterflies mounted within a traditional glazed shadow box frame.

The display contains a vibrant assortment of specimens arranged against a clear background, allowing light to pass through the wings and highlight their remarkable natural colours.

Included are several dramatic tropical species, featuring vivid blues, yellows, reds and iridescent greens, creating an eye-catching decorative composition.

Mounted within a simple wooden frame, the piece reflects the Victorian and early 20th century fascination with natural history collecting, when butterfly and insect displays were prized additions to studies, libraries and cabinet of curiosity interiors.

The varying wing shapes, markings and colours provide both scientific interest and decorative appeal, making the display equally suitable for collectors of natural history, entomology, taxidermy, curiosities and eclectic interior design.
