Naturalized butterfly from 1997

Butterfly naturalized under glass. Length: 16.5cm. Width: 16.5cm. Thickness: 4.5cm. Rare survivor of a much larger entomological box this euxanthe eurinome is a magnificent naturalized butterfly. Originally placed under glass by a mysterious bernard flageaulet in 1997 among other butterflies, it is one of the few not to have been damaged by time passed. This insect has been placed in a second-hand frame for an upcycling that allows it again to have beautiful days ahead of it. This black wooden frame is to be installed or suspended thanks to a wire back fastener. Place it on a fireplace apron or in a frame accumulation to bring out all the beauty of this insect, shaped by nature. An ode to nature, very graphic patterns and a beautiful contrast between black and white create a good mix for this original decorative object. This style of frame can very well marry with an old illustration or a vintage botanical poster. This revalorized object is slightly in its juice: the frame indeed shows some traces of wear (visible in photo) but the whole remains very well preserved.
