Beautiful bugs

Some of our steady sellers over the past few years have been our boxed collections of butterflies. We've now got our hands on some of these beautiful specimen boxes of beetles and other insects.

 

 

 

 

Tapping into the Victorian craze for collecting and classifying, these look great displayed en masse in a cabinet or display case.

 



We've painted this one black with a lighter blue/grey interior to provide a great 'showcase' for whatever delightful objects it contains.

For those less enamoured with having the actual bugs, we have a stylish range of Victorian illustrations of butterflies and moths. All are from late nineteenth century book publications and are framed and strung ready for hanging.
