Pair of Butterfly Fan Trellises

Pair of mild-steel trellises celebrating the Victorian fascination with butterflies, emblems of transformation, the soul and the fleeting beauty of nature. As entomology blossomed and richly illustrated field guides captured public imagination, insect motifs spread through jewellery, textiles, book illustration and architectural detail. Designers prized the butterfly’s symmetrical wings for their decorative potential and its metamorphosis for its moral resonance. These trellises echo that heritage, offering climbing plants an elegant framework shaped by Victorian symbolism and natural-history charm.
