„Alchemy“ – Miniature Witch’s Cabinet - Alcides orontes (23x18cm)

A miniature apothecary preserved behind glass.

This shadowbox features a striking Alcides orontes, its deep black wings marked with luminous green bands that shift beautifully in the light. The specimen rests before a richly layered backdrop of tiny corked potion bottles, trailing greenery, and aged textures - reminiscent of an old alchemist’s private study.

To the side, a handcrafted miniature bookshelf holds weathered books, rolled scrolls, candles, a crystal specimen, and a framed botanical illustration, creating the feeling of a hidden library frozen in time.

Set within a dark wooden frame adorned with antique-style copper studs, the piece has a grounded, old-world character. The dimensional arrangement adds depth and storytelling, making it feel like a true curiosity cabinet in miniature form.
