Hasharat “Summer Garden” Butterfly Specimen Display in 19th-Century Glass Dome

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Summer Garden Butterfly Specimen Display Under 19th-Century Glass Dome

A striking entomological display entitled Summer Garden, created by Hasharat, featuring a vibrant collection of preserved butterflies artfully arranged along a twisting natural branch to create the impression of specimens in flight. Recently created, the composition brings together butterflies in brilliant shades of blue, turquoise, yellow, orange, red, violet, green, and ivory, positioned at varying heights and angles to showcase their remarkable colors, patterns, and wing forms. The airy, sculptural arrangement gives the piece a wonderful sense of movement and life.

The contemporary butterfly composition is housed beneath an original 19th-century glass dome with its original ebonized wood base, accented with gilt detailing. The juxtaposition of the antique dome and base with Hasharat’s contemporary entomological work beautifully bridges past and present, recalling the fascination with natural history and collecting found in the traditional cabinet of curiosities. Both decorative and sculptural, Summer Garden makes a dramatic statement from every angle.
