THE GILDED NOCTURNE
An exquisite study in natural history and Victorian romance, The Gilded Nocturne brings together the haunting beauty of preserved specimens and delicate botanicals within an ornate, antique-gold oval frame.
An impressive Atlas moth takes center stage, accompanied by a death’s-head moth and mink skull. Dried florals, mosses, and botanical textures create a richly layered composition against a dark backdrop, while antique bubble glass lends the piece an unmistakable old-world character.
A singular curiosity for collectors of the rare, storied, and beautifully unusual.
