The Butterfly Ball

Like a living herbarium page, this scene features a ballet of butterflies fluttering above flowers, in the delicate naturalistic ornaments characteristic of ancient decorative arts.

Turquoise, amber, and pink wings alight on tender foliage, creating a light and poetic embroidery.

Hand-painted in our Parisian workshop, this canvas is part of Annie Bouquet's world, where heritage, poetry, and artisanal know-how meet to create unique pieces.

Accessible to embroiderers of all levels. Its butterflies with a thousand shades offer delicate and immersive color work.

Finish & use:
Once embroidered, then mounted and filled, this canvas becomes a decorative brick (doorstop) that adorns the foot of a door, a shelf, or a fireplace, bringing the charm of bygone works to your interior.

Through the time it requires, the gesture it embodies, and the material it reveals, this embroidery acquires a value far beyond its sole decorative use.
