The Enigma Bower - Giant Flame Bordered Emperor & Stag Beetle Sculptural Glass Diorama
Immerse your space in the ultimate fusion of classic Art Deco elegance and modern memento mori storytelling.
Handcrafted for connoisseurs of the unusual, high-end curiosity collectors, and alternative curators, this breathtaking statement piece breathes new life into an upcycled reproduction Art Deco figural non-working lamp base. Housed inside a flawless, crystal-clear glass sphere resting upon the outstretched hands of a beautifully patinated bronze-finished goddess figure is a fully realised, three-dimensional woodland canopy.
The crown jewel of the globe is a mangificent, pristine specimen of the Flame Bordered Emperor Butterfly (Charaxes Protoclea Azota), showcasing a striking velvet-brown wing expanse highlighted by a bold, radiant orange and white margin. Scaling the micro-landscape below is a brilliantly metallic Saw-Tooth Green Stag Beetle (Lamprima), resting alongside a natural forest pinecone and fluffy stems of autumn grass. The entire organic scene is grounded upon a plush bed of vibrant green faux moss that gracefully cascades over the edge of the figure's chalice. The entire sculpture stands anchored on a heavy, stepped metallic base, delivering an old-world gallery presence.
100% sustainably sourced specimens, professionally pinned and fully set.
Premium heavy polystone/resin reproduction Art Deco figural pillar finished in an antiqued bronze patina with an elegant copper-gold accent sash.
