ETHICS & KNOW-HOW

At NOOS Entomology, we give a second life to specimens from old entomological collections formed before the year 2000.

Each butterfly is selected with care, restored meticulously, and artisanally showcased, in respect of its history and its uniqueness.

Our approach rests on preserving this ancient natural heritage, without breeding new specimens for our creations.

These compositions allow insects preserved for several decades to regain their place in our interiors, between scientific curiosity and decorative object.

SHIPPING

To offer controlled shipping costs, orders are sent to a pickup point or to a locker, depending on the options offered by the carrier and the destination.

After your purchase, you can contact me to indicate your preferred pickup point. The final choice will depend on the available delivery options.

PACKAGING & PROTECTION

Protection of our compositions is considered from the design stage.

Each globe benefits from specific preparation to limit the effects of vibrations and handling during transport.

Your order is then carefully packaged using protections suitable for the fragility of glass and the specimen.

We favor, as much as possible, repurposed or recyclable packing materials.

Shipping fees include this preparation as well as transport and protections necessary for the delivery of these particularly delicate objects.

Despite all precautions, a transport incident remains possible. In the event of a problem on receipt, please keep the packaging and contact us promptly, in accordance with Catawiki's claims procedure.
