Filled 7 Drawer Chinoserie Cabinet

Darwinian Display

This is a project I have had on my mind for some time.
This cabinet has seven velvet lined and filled drawers: two have Handmade Birds Eggs, one drawer Semi-Precious Stones, one drawer sea shells and three drawers of Butterflies. Each individual egg is handmade. I have tried to make them true 12th scale and have painted each egg to reflect the eggs as they are in the wild. Each little cotton lined box has eggs including: Kittiwake; Blackbird; Stone Curlew; Blue Tit; Song Thrush; Hobby; Mute Swan; Common Tern; Mocking Bird; Cormorant; Magpie; Green Woodpecker and Sparow Hawk. There is also 24 species of Butterfly, ten semi-precious Stones and ten sea shells. Each label is readable. I have used artistic license to name the stones and shells. Note: there are no valuable stones in this unit.
 
 Collecting things was a very popular pastime in Victorian England. Egg collecting  was eventually outlawed in the 1950's. Butterfly collecting, although not outlawed, there is a code of practice for collecting these wonderful creatures today. All items are fixed in place.  The unit is JiaYi Handpainted Chinoiserie Style. It measures H16.4cm x W7.7cm x D4cm . 

Eminently suitable for a house, Museum, antique shop, Darwin style studies etc.
