THE OBSIDIAN GARDEN
A captivating study in contrast, The Obsidian Garden showcases the delicate beauty of two preserved Heliconius doris butterflies within an extravagantly ornate, antique-inspired frame.
Their velvety black wings, accented with pale gold and subtle iridescent blue, rest against a richly textured dark backdrop. Soft ivory florals, preserved mosses, and delicate botanical accents surround the specimens, creating a composition that feels both romantic and mysterious.
Framed in elaborate bronze-gold scrollwork, this one-of-a-kind piece evokes the atmosphere of a forgotten Victorian conservatory, where natural history meets ornamental art.
