This handmade miniature display features a delicate butterfly specimen resting on a tiny slide beneath an antique-style magnifying lens. Mounted on an wrought iron stand with scrollwork, it recreates the atmosphere of a Victorian entomologist's study, where rare specimens were carefully examined and meticulously cataloged.
The magnifying glass hovers over the butterfly just as though a researcher has stepped away from the workbench, leaving their latest discovery ready for inspection. Rich with old-world character, this unique piece is a wonderful addition to a dollhouse library, curiosity cabinet, museum, apothecary, or collector's study.
Each display is individually handcrafted, making every one a one-of-a-kind miniature.
