Enigma Variations Collection: Tiny Antique Flat Iron with a Real Butterfly in a Glass Display Dome 

SOLD

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

The beautiful specimen butterfly is Altinote alcione found in Peru. The Victorian flat iron was used to iron collars and ribbons. This miniature world is presented in a glass dome with a base created from a Victorian table central column.

Dimensions: height 33cm x diameter 15cm

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.
