This one-of-a-kind piece is built around a true antique oval frame fitted with its original convex bubble glass, chosen specifically to amplify depth and presence. At the center is a male Attacus atlas specimen — an exceptionally large and visually commanding insect — carefully pinned and spread by hand to honor its natural scale and form.
The composition is completed with real preserved mushrooms and botanicals faux & preserved, arranged to echo a quiet forest floor stillness. The convex glass creates a subtle magnification, drawing the eye inward and giving the specimen a near-sculptural presence when viewed from different angles.
This is not a reproduction or assemblage piece. Every element is authentic, handled slowly, and placed with intention. The result is a work that feels both archival and intimate — something meant to be lived with, not just displayed.
Condition Note:
As expected with genuine antique materials, the frame and glass show light signs of age consistent with their history. These do not detract from the overall appearance and instead contribute to the character and authenticity of the piece.
Dimensions:
Length- 22 7/8 IN.
Width- 16 7/8 IN.
