Papilio Thoas Cinyras Framed Butterfly

A mounted butterfly display from the entomological collection of London-based dealers of antiques and natural curiosities, Les Couilles du Chien – presented in an ebonised frame that’s unique to Liberty.

The Papilio Thoas Cinyras, also known as the king swallowtail butterfly, is found within the region sweeping from the southern United States to Central and South America – this one was captured in Mexico. It is characterised by a striking yellow band, with tails that trail from its hind wings. A stunning specimen, it has been set and mounted in the UK in Les Couilles du Chien’s own workshop. Hang this framed display on a wall with other curios, illustrations and prints from your travels.

Les Couilles du Chien proprietor Jerome Dodd has been trading on Golborne Road in West London for over 25 years – under a cheeky name that’s part Parisian élan, part Cockney rhyming slang. Purveyor of antique curios, extraordinary curiosities and rare natural history finds, Les Couilles du Chien is a true cave of wonders that feels tailor-made for romantics and eccentrics. A go-to for conversation-starting home décor.
