12 magnificent bird-winged butterflies in a capsule globe.

The most common bird-winged butterfly - Ornithoptera Priamus - is actually not so common, because it is only found in a few small islands in the Pacific: Papua New Guinea, Southern Moluccas, Solomon Islands...

Islands where their forests diminish year after year under the influence of men. 

This is why this protected species will be delivered with a CITES. 

Only the males have these bright colors, the females are even larger, but brown in color. 

They are so remarkable that our specimens now come from a farm in Indonesia.

Rattan, a material with extraordinary properties with limits.

Rattan is a vine of the Palm race, which grows in very humid or even marshy Equatorial forests.

With its glass-like siliceous skin, this extremely strong and light vine is particularly resistant to humidity, as are tropical woods, teak or others.

But this resistance has limits. Exposed to rain, rattan resists very well for a whole day or even a few days. But if this rain continues for too many hours, the humidity will gradually penetrate the Rattan, and day after day the material kept wet will end up slowly deteriorating and losing its resistance qualities.

The physical limits of rattan require precautions for use. On the terraces of Parisian cafes, the chairs can last for decades even though they are often in the rain all day for long periods. But they are stacked under cover every evening and can thus dry.

More generally, rattan can withstand rain for long hours without compromising its longevity, but must be able to dry regularly.

In practice, rattan furniture can remain outside throughout the “summer season”, the weather is hot and rather dry, continuous rains exceptionally last more than three or four days and Rattan withstands such rain without deteriorating.

But as soon as the season advances, the temperature drops, and there is a lot of condensation and humidity, the Rattan will gradually become humid, with long, heavy rains accentuating this deterioration. In practice, these are sensitive situations at the seaside.

It is then imperative to place the seats under shelter, a ventilated shelter to avoid progressive humidification as soon as the “bad season” arrives, in practice from mid-October to mid-March for a continental climate.

The alternative if you want to use your rattan furniture all year round is to put it under cover every day, every evening, as the Parisian terraces do.

In summary, 2 main principles to respect:

During the winter season (October 15 to March 15 in Europe) in all climates: furniture must be stored “dry”. It can, however, be left outside during the day, but must be kept dry overnight.

During the “summer season”, the rest of the time, Rattan can remain permanently outside.

However, if there is lasting rain, you should only leave the Rattan in this rain for two or three days at most, before putting the furniture in a dry place so that it can dry. Only take it out once the rain has stopped (In any case, a terrace cannot be used in the rain).

Ceramic vase, head of a Moorish woman, Sicily - Italy.

Handcrafted in ceramic, double fired and hand painted in Italy.

The moors were members of Muslim people of North Africa, of mixed Arab and Berber descent. In the 8th century they were converted to Islam and established power in North Africa, Sicily and Spain, where they established a civilization (756–1492).

THE LEGEND : 

During the Arab domination in Sicily, in Palermo city, there was an Arab Suburb called "La Kalsa".

In this small suburb was living a beautiful young lady who used to spend her time in taking care of the flowers on her balcony.

One day, a young moor was walking down the lady's balcony. He noticed the beauty of the lady and he truly fell in love with her.

He did not wait a minute to declare his love for her, and the beautiful young lady, impressed by the lover's boldness, started feeling the same love.

Unfortunately, the young moor was already married and was father of a few kids... as soon as the young lady found out that he would have left for going back to his family, she waited until the night and killed him while he was sleeping deeply. She cut his head and used it as a vase for her plants, so that she could have him forever by her side.

Bairei became a student of the Maruyama school painter Nakajima Raishō at the age of eight, and then a student of the Shijō school painter Shiokawa Bunrin at the age of twenty-seven. He continued his education in the Nanga school style under Nakanishi Kōseki and Maeda Chōdō. With Gennyo, abbot of Higashi Hongan-ji, he traveled throughout Kyūshū and central Japan, making numerous drawings.

In 1878, Bairei began preparations for an art school, which opened in 1880 as the Kyoto Prefectural School of Painting. He left this school in 1881 and taught his students in his workshop until 1891. In 1893, he became a member of the Arts Committee of the Imperial Household. In 1894, he was commissioned to paint pieces of Higashi Hongan-ji.

Bairei was a prominent figure in Kyoto's artistic circles, where he organized and promoted artistic activities. He played a particularly important role in his educational work. His many students include Takeuchi Seihō, Kikuchi Hōbun, Kawai Gyokudō.

His own work, often characterized by bold brushstrokes, displays traditional charm and sensitivity.

Its flowers, birds (Kachō-ga), and landscapes show a touch of Western realism. Bairei is also known for his spontaneous woodcut sketches.
