A single damselfly, hand posed and preserved inside a sealed glass globe. The specimen sits on view from every side, which is the whole appeal of a globe over a flat frame. A natural cork stopper closes the glass, and each insect is ethically sourced.
Because every specimen is an individual, size, color, and wing detail vary a little from one globe to the next, and the globe is sized to suit the insect inside. The look comes from the natural history cabinet, the old habit of keeping small wonders under glass so they can be studied up close. Damselflies have a slender body and fine, veined wings, and the glass gives them room to be admired without a lot of fuss around them.
Set one on a bookshelf, a desk, a mantel, or a bedside table, where people can pick it up and turn it. It also works in a group with other insect globes, shells, or stacked art books. The glass is not UV protected, so keep it out of harsh or direct sunlight, as you would with any artwork.

Found Honestly.
Edited Relentlessly.
We don't buy objects just to fill shelves. We look for pieces that possess a soul; objects that have survived trends and remained essential.
Our collection is the result of 20 years of following our gut. Each piece is hand-inspected by Matt and the team in Cincinnati to ensure it meets our standard of permanent beauty.
FAQ
If you have a question that isn't here, just ask. That's what we're here for.
Put the budget into one solid object. Four options cover most recipients: monogrammed leather-wrapped rocks glasses, a Bergs Potter terracotta pot and saucer, a five-piece gold cocktail set, or a Taschen art book. If you are stuck between two, choose the one they will use every week.
For a housewarming, $30 to $75 works for most friends, while $75 to $150 suits family, close friends, or a first house. For a wedding, $100 to $150 per guest is a common benchmark, though your budget and relationship with the couple should decide the final amount. The $150 tier gives you room for substantial materials such as solid brass, full-grain leather, and high-fired terracotta. The venue should have no bearing on what you spend.
The difference shows up in scale and materials. Gifts under $50 covers hosts, coworkers, teachers, stocking fillers, and anything you need to buy in quantity. Think candles, matches, cards, bath products, and small barware. The under-$150 collection puts more of the budget into one object, with heavier materials and more presence in the room. Start under $50 when buying for a list. Start here when one gift needs to carry the occasion.
Buy the thing they would never think to buy for themselves. Our curiosities case exists for this. The resin monkey skull reproduces the orbital sockets, sagittal ridge, and dentition in enough detail to read like a museum object on a bookshelf. Massimo Listri’s Cabinet of Curiosities creates a similar effect through large-format photographs of European Wunderkammern. Both have enough detail and presence to keep someone looking. Come in and describe the recipient or the room if you want help choosing between them.
The monogrammed leather rocks glasses are our strongest closing gift on this page. The discreet monogram makes them personal, and the glasses can settle easily into almost any home. Clayton & Crume leather-wrapped glass flask suits a client who travels. For a family moving into a house where they plan to entertain, choose the five-piece cocktail set or a set of Art Deco coupes. Either can come out for the first dinner in the new house.
