This is a glass-cased entomoogy draw from The London Natural History Museum’s Rothchild, Cockayne & Kettlewell Collection. Commissioned in the 19th century by Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron. The cabinet maker was: J.J. HILL & SON, CABINET WORKS, YEWFIELD RD, WILLESDEN, LONDON NW10.
The glass case contains a selection of vintage and modern pinned mounted set butterflies, some with damage. (The butterflies are unlabelled. No CITES species).
The case is in fair condition for its age. The putty holding the glass in place is dry and may become loose with prolonged use. In some cases the putty will need to be replaced. Please see photos for details.
These glass cases make very attractive wall displays!
