Rainveil feels like a forgotten portrait preserved after a summer storm; romantic, melancholic, and quietly elegant. Encased within a 6x7" ornate gold acrylic frame, this piece draws inspiration from Victorian mourning keepsakes and antique curiosity collections, blending delicate preservation with timeless beauty.

At its center rests a real preserved butterfly beside an authentic antique tintype portrait, creating a composition that feels deeply personal and suspended in time. Surrounding them are real Texas rain lilies, their pale blooms adorned with tiny droplets of rain that glisten softly against the gilded frame. Each element is thoughtfully arranged to evoke the stillness of humid evenings, fading memories, and the fragile beauty found within nature.

The result is a piece that feels both haunting and tender; like a treasured heirloom rediscovered in an old parlor drawer. Perfect for collectors drawn to antique romance, natural history, and softly ornate gothic decor.
