Lilliane
Richly dramatic and romantic in tone, this one-of-a-kind piece feels like a preserved fragment of a Victorian reverie; ornate, opulent, and quietly haunting. Encased within a 12x17 antique gold frame with convex bubble glass, the surface gently magnifies the composition beneath it, adding a soft, timeworn distortion reminiscent of antique display cases and heirloom curiosities.
Two (2) real preserved Red & Black Swallowtail butterflies rest at the top and bottom of the arrangement, their wings framing the piece like living ornaments frozen in stillness. Between them, a lush center of real dried botanicals unfolds in layered harmony; delicate blooms and foliage carefully composed to create depth, softness, and natural movement. Nestled within the florals are small crystal rhinestones, catching light like dew or scattered starlight, adding a subtle shimmer to the organic forms.
Set against a deep red velvet backing, the composition is heightened with warmth and contrast, evoking candlelit parlors, antique cabinets of curiosity, and the romance of preserved nature. This piece is designed as a statement heirloom for collectors drawn to Victorian elegance, dark floral beauty, and timeless natural history.
