Superb naturalist globe comprising a gigantic cloud of blue "Morpho" butterflies placed on branches of Diospyros and under an XXL glass globe.

A contemporary version of an entomologist's collection.

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.

This large white and black butterfly is found in Indonesia, and in particular on several islands of Sulawesi, often with small specificities that have developed within these island populations.

Its nickname Tree Nymph comes from the contrast of its white wings against the green of the jungle.

This globe is therefore raised on its black metal feet with brass tips.

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.

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

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.

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.
