c.1900 Mahogany Cased Lepidopterists’ Collection
The glazed mahogany display case with hinged sides for access and off white interior housing a collection of exotic butterflies native to Britain and South America containing approximately forty specimens of butterfly and moth, in a wide variety of colourways, surviving from the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries.
The shadow box case is in sound structural order with the mahogany nice and rich and the glazing original and in tact. The specimens themselves are in super order with all remaining in tact and pinned, aside from one which has one loose wing. There is the usual amount of loose dust in and around the ensemble. The colours on show remain very vivid and include various shades of orange and yellow, whites, blacks and blues.
Lepidoptery, the branch of science dedicated to the study of butterflies and moths, has its own legendary figures, and its history is both long and glorious. The examples within this particular case have a pleasing variation with a wide range of distinctive colours and pattern, many being swallowtails. The specimens are mainly native to South America and some to Britain and range from six inch to one inch in wingspan.
Sure to satisfy wall art cravings for the discerning or natural history pangs for the curious.
