NATURALIA, NATURAL CURIOSTIES

Beautiful reproduction of a gorgonian made of red/orange resin.

Coral is actually an animal of the Cnidarian phylum. Corals generally live in colonies of individuals called “polyps” which are “superorganisms”. Each polyp secretes its own exoskeleton; depending on the species, this exoskeleton is hard or soft.

Very nice sea urchin on a cubic base.

This species of sea urchin can measure up to 12 cm in diameter.

It can be a beautiful dark purple with often the tips of the prickles white.

It feeds on algae that it grazes on the rocks between the surface and 100 m depth in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

This specimen with its prickles comes from the Italian coast of Liguria.

A very beautiful decorative object.

Here is the largest moth in the world, the Attacus Atlas of Thailand.

It is presented in a double-sided reliquary on a stand. Both sides of the butterfly are visible. And in particular the tip of the wings which imitates the head of a cobra, to frighten a predator on the lookout... The male only lives 4 days, without feeding...

To love and let yourself die.

Decorative object.

A red and yellow gorgon on a brass base.

This gorgonian is the dazzling mixture of red and yellow. This Leptogorgia hebes comes from the Gulf of Mexico.

It grows sheltered from the sun's rays in areas between 10 and 300 meters deep. Where no one sees its vibrant colors. Their color is of course natural.

Attached perpendicular to their support, the colonized polyp branches filter the water with the current to capture the micro-organisms in suspension.

Gorgonians, like corals, are animals living in the form of sessile colonial polyps, organized in a tree structure. Each polyp has 8 tentacles which filter the plankton and consume it. The general structure, a skeleton both flexible and hard, called gorgonine do not grow towards the sun (it does not require light to develop) but perpendicular to the current, so as to filter a maximum of water flow.

A very beautiful decorative object.

A flight of red butterflies delicately presented on Salix branches and protected by an elegant bridal globe.

This reminds us of the naturalist showcases that adorned the galleries of Natural History museums in the 19th century.

Each globe is a unique and original creation, made by hand in the workshop.

Packaging specifically reinforced and suitable for shipment.

Bright red Gorgon on brass base

Its color is incredible, but completely natural. We managed to preserve the beauty of this gorgon, even on your console! It comes from Micronesia, Melithaea ochracea-

Red gorgonians (Acabaria biserialis) line the rocky slopes between 20 and 100 meters deep. It is necessary to use a flashlight to appreciate their brilliance, because at this depth, the red appears dark blue.

7 tests of COELOPLEURUS MAILLARDI sea urchins in a beautiful high rectangular wooden box with black black finish on a turned foot.

A dazzling and unique decorative object.

In zoology, the test is an often rounded mineral envelope, based on limestone or silica, chitinous or composite, which has the function of serving as protection for certain animals, such as sea urchins, or microorganisms such as foraminifera.

Mini brass globe protecting a marvelous bright yellow shell. It holds such a beautiful yellow underwater in the Philippines, it has exactly that same color!

But on the other hand, we have only selected these Pecten when barnacles (purple shells) have taken up residence on their beautiful shell.

This same shell also exists in orange and purple in our curiosities.

A globe lamp. Here, 6 MORPHO MENELAUS butterflies from a farm in South America.

This butterfly, inhabitant of the forests of Central America, amazes with the metallic colors of its wings.

It naturally reflects light and with the lighting just above, these butterflies will be vibrant even at night.

All the magic of the composition is revealed once the lamp is lit, and the seabed seems to come to life.

This lamp is sold without lampshade.

Stunning naturalistic globe featuring bird-winged butterflies - Ornithoptera Priamus - encapsulated in a capsule-shaped globe.

The base is in aged brass.

Packaging specifically reinforced and suitable for shipment.

The most common of the bird-winged butterflies -Ornithoptera Priamus- is actually not that common as it is only found in a few small islands in the Pacific: Papua New Guinea, South Moluccas Islands, Solomon Islands.. .

Islands where the forests are decreasing 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.

Soaring with large locusts delicately presented on brass-coloured metal rods and protected by an elegant oblong-shaped bridal globe.

If you come across this very large cricket in the forest of French Guiana, you will be surprised when it jumps. These Titanacris Albipes have magnificent purple wings when soaring over long distances.

This reminds us of the naturalist showcases that adorned the galleries of Natural History museums in the 19th century.

Each globe is a unique and original creation, entirely handmade.

This magnificent butterfly is called "Butterfly-bird" so its wingspan (from 12 to 17cm) is close to that of a bird. 

Its wings are black with 7 almost fluorescent green stripes. When it rests, its two pairs of wings line up to form one long bar. His chest is covered with red hairs. 

This butterfly is native to the islands of Southeast Asia: Borneo, Mentawai (the country of the flower-men), Banyak and the Malay Peninsula. 

It is a male, because the larger female would not fit in this globe...
