Seller's description

A real Blue Morpho butterfly, eternalised in pure 24-karat gold through alchemy magic and elevated to a bespoke piece of fine art home decor. In collaboration with the Sussex Butterfly Gardens and master alchemist John King, this is a totally unique specimen and Nr. 1 of 5 in our ongoing "Butterfly Love" Alchemy Taxidermy series.

🔨 How it's made
This is not a print. Not a reproduction. Not a traditional pinned specimen. This is a real Blue Morpho butterfly, sourced directly from the Sussex Butterfly Gardens, an IABES-accredited organisation specializing in butterfly breeding for conservation, education and exhibition. Every butterfly has lived a full and happy life and died of natural causes. No butterfly was harmed in the making of this work.

In traditional taxidermy, the shell remains, the soul disappears. In our special alchemy process however, the organic core is preserved and sealed entirely for eternity in specialized epoxy, and magically plated in pure 24-karat gold by master alchemist John King. The soul stays. The beauty intensifies. The result is fine art.

The shadow box frame is handcrafted by Louis Oosting of Alulijst Amsterdam (alulijst.nl), a renowned Amsterdam frame maker since 1986. Museum-quality glass, a deep forest green linen mount, and a warm natural wood finish. A statement piece for the interior design lover, the nature enthusiast, the art collector. Comes with a built-in hanging hook and a small wooden easel stand, ready to hang or display on a shelf or mantelpiece.

Outer frame: 14 x 14 cm · Inner (visible) area: 12 x 12 cm · Depth. 2.5 cm · Butterfly wingspan: 10,5 cm
