Lilian Beetle Butterfly Entomology Oddities Floral Botanical Candelabra Glass Dome Artwork

Picture Lilian sitting on a bookshelf among old hardcovers and brass trinkets, tucked onto a vanity, or displayed somewhere the light can catch that flash of blue hiding inside the center globe. This one feels like three tiny gardens growing out of something that could have been pulled from an old Victorian home. The ornate gold base already has so much character with its web-like detailing, but instead of candles, each branch holds its own little world beneath glass. Two dark beetles sit among white and golden botanicals on either side, while the center holds an iridescent butterfly that shifts into the most beautiful electric blue when the light hits it. The dark greenery gives everything a slightly overgrown feeling, like nature slowly took over an antique candelabra and decided to make itself at home. She’s ornate, strange and a little dramatic, but still delicate enough that you have to get close to see everything hiding inside. Created with real preserved beetles, a real preserved butterfly, preserved moss, florals and botanicals beneath three glass globes on an ornate gold candelabra-style base. One available. Once Lilian finds her home, she’s gone.
