SOLD - Enigma Variations Collection: Miniature Antique Copper & Brass Bugle with a Vintage Butterfly under a Glass Display Dome

The ancient greeks believed that a new human soul was born every time an adult butterfly emerged from its cocoon.

A beautiful vintage specimen butterfly is placed on an exquisite miniature antique copper bugle. Miniature musical instruments like this bugle, were often made by apprentices to hone their skills.

This miniature world is presented in a new glass dome with a vintage painted wooden pot stand.

Dome Dimensions: height 29cm

PLEASE NOTE

We are passionate about nurturing the planet, our environment and all wildlife and therefore only endorse ethical and sustainable practices. 

The insects we use are sourced from unwanted vintage collections.

Enigma Variations

Unexpected juxtapositions: where antique artefacts have a poetic dialogue with the natural. 

Due to the fragility of the glass dome and its contents we have reluctantly decided not to offer a delivery service on this creation. Please purchase and arrange collection with the gallery. Thank you.
