Lot 100: Vintage Taxidermy Butterfly Specimen in Glass Dome Display

A vintage taxidermy butterfly specimen, likely belonging to the Graphium genus, presented in a naturalistic botanical arrangement. The butterfly is mounted in a dynamic pose atop a central pale-pink dried flower blossom. The display includes an assortment of dried flora such as smaller pink flowers, delicate white sprays resembling gypsophila, and green foliage, all anchored in a base of preserved moss. The entire arrangement is enclosed within a clear glass cloche dome, which is fixed to a circular, stepped base of dark-stained wood. Based on market consensus for similar items, this display is consistent with 1970s decorative natural history pieces.

Base diameter: 150mm.
