The Petite Coverts is a handcrafted wall object made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. It belongs to the Curios Collection, where natural history, curiosity cabinets and careful craftsmanship meet.
The work features real preserved wings, chosen for their delicate structure, translucency and fragile natural detail. Rather than being cast in silver, the wings are preserved as part of the artwork itself, allowing their original texture and lightness to remain visible.
Sterling silver and Swarovski elements add quiet contrast, while the piece is professionally framed beneath slightly domed glass. The framing protects the delicate preserved wings while giving the work the feeling of a small natural history specimen or curiosity cabinet object.
The result is intimate, unusual and connected to themes of preservation, memory and the fragile beauty of the natural world.
Materials: Real preserved wings, sterling silver, Swarovski, professionally framed with slightly domed glass.
Dimensions: 25cm x 15cm framed
