WTUAWB Alpine Black Swallowtail Framed Butterfly Shadow Box — 8.85x6.89in Black Background, UV-Resistant Plexiglass

This WTUAWB Alpine Black Swallowtail arrives ethically sourced and professionally preserved inside a sleek shadow box, ready to display as striking gothic or natural-history wall art.

Hand-mounted and presented in a compact 8.85 x 6.89 x 1.18 inch MDF frame with anti-dust plexiglass, this framed real butterfly blends Victorian curiosity with modern minimalist styling. The specimen is preserved using museum-grade techniques to retain color and structure for decades, then sealed behind UV-resistant plexiglass on a deep black background to highlight wing pattern and contrast. It’s ideal for collectors, interior decorators, or anyone seeking a dramatic natural accent for shelves, desks, or gallery walls.

How is the butterfly sourced and preserved?

Each specimen is obtained after natural end-of-life under ethical sourcing policies and handled by experienced preparators. Preservation processes focus on drying, mounting, and sealing with archival materials to minimize deterioration and color loss.
