Sunset on Velvet

Description

This ornate piece pairs a Red Ring Skirt butterfly with a Red Lacewing, their colors glowing vividly against a backdrop of black velvet. Pressed florals in fiery reds, soft creams, and golds surround them, creating the feeling of a twilight garden sealed in time. The antique frame adds a touch of old-world magic, turning the composition into a quiet moment of balance between darkness and light. It’s a small, eternal bloom of color meant to draw the eye and feel like a memory you can hold.

Red Lacewing Butterfly or Cethosia biblis species is known for its vibrant orange and black patterns with white spots. They are found in Southeast Asia. The underside of their wings often resembles a dead leaf when closed.
