Up for sale is a stunning, authentic vintage butterfly taxidermy display case from mid-century Brazil. This beautiful piece features an assortment of 13 beautifully preserved South American specimens, highlighted by a large, magnificent central Blue Morpho butterfly and two upper-corner specimens featuring spectacular iridescent, holographic properties that shimmer and change color as they catch the light.
🦋 Expertly Curated Specimens Included:
The Centerpiece: A massive, brilliantly vibrant Blue Morpho (Morpho menelaus), famous for its metallic, shimmering blue hue.
The Upper Flankers: Two smaller, mesmerizing Aega Morphos (Morpho aega), showing off a rare, soft lavender/purple pearlescent structural iridescence that dramatically shifts colors depending on the viewing angle.
Top Center: A striking White-banded Daggerwing (Marpesia crethon or Marpesia orsilochus), showing off its sharp, geometric wing shape.
The "88" Butterfly: A classic Eighty-Eight Butterfly (Diaethria clymena), prized by collectors for the distinct "88" pattern naturally displayed on its wing undersides.
Accent Species: Includes a bright lemon-yellow Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae), a rich orange Sulphur/Julia, a Red Rim (Biblis hyperia), and a Postman Butterfly (Heliconius), alongside other native brush-footed forest specimens.
Specimens: Outstanding vintage condition. The wings are flat, fully intact, and completely secure. The holographic, iridescent properties of the Morpho wings are incredibly bright and show zero signs of fading.
Frame: The traditional Brazilian inlaid wood marquetry frame is 13X9 its rock-solid with beautiful contrasting grain patterns and very minimal age-appropriate edge wear.
