Description from the seller
Vintage Entomological Butterfly Display – Rio de Janeiro – Ø 17 cm
Elegant vintage circular entomological display featuring genuine tropical butterflies carefully arranged inside a metal frame with convex glass. The composition is enhanced by a decorative floral background and the “Rio de Janeiro” inscription, giving the piece an exotic and refined character.
The central butterfly, with its striking iridescent blue wings, is beautifully complemented by three specimens in orange, yellow and dark brown tones, creating a harmonious and visually impressive composition. A decorative object ideal for collectors of entomology, Cabinets of Curiosities, Wunderkammer displays, or for enhancing classic, vintage or eclectic interiors.
The piece is in good overall vintage condition, showing light age-related wear consistent with its age. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
