NATURALIA, NATURAL CURIOSTIES

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.

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.

Our collection of corals in synthetic material is handcrafted, reproducing identically the texture of these living specimens, most of which are now protected.

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.

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.

The Bride and Groom Globe was originally intended to collect the wreath of orange flowers worn by the bride on the wedding day.

Fashionable in the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century, this oval glass bell could also contain other wedding souvenirs in order to protect them from dust and oblivion.

With its quilted canvas cushion, its 2 antique mirrors and its symbolic decorations (the vine leaves, symbol of the union of the feminine and masculine, or the bird, symbol of peace and love), our Wedding Globe will present your wonders or protect jewelry and collections of your choice. Napoleon III turned wooden base.

An unusual decorative object for your interior decoration!

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.

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

A very beautiful decorative object.

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.

A large Blue Emperor butterfly This Australian giant comes from Papua New Guinea, but it can be encountered from Australia - where it is the emblem of Queensland - to the Solomon Islands. The male Papilio Ulysses is so attracted to blue that we can see him "jumping" on a blue t-shirt or a blue plastic bag...

Superb Morpho Cypris butterflies from South America (Colombia).

Presented in a beautiful black double-sided rectangular beveled glass box in the cabinet of curiosities style.

This leaves the possibility of appreciating the two very different faces of this very beautiful butterfly which has not undergone any modification: one metallic blue face, the other which imitates bird eyes in order to frighten predators, clever!

All Morpho butterflies have blue colors with metallic highlights, but among this large family that lives in South America, the male Morpho Cypris is the most beautiful.

Its metallic reflections are a deep blue.

You can't walk alongside this presentation without being captivated!

These butterflies reside in the canopy of the humid forests of Colombia, and when it closes its wings, it once again becomes the champion of stealth.

These 13 blue butterflies come from the rainforests at the base of the Andes in Peru. What they all have in common is this mixture of black velvet and shades of blue on their wings. They are members of the Nymphalidae family. Among them, the Naeocles Jucunda live in the canopy of these forests, others like the Panacea Prola like to lounge on the banks of rivers, even in light rain. This Peruvian cocktail is presented under a round globe with a brass base.
