Firefly Light Automaton- Victorian Brass

As the sun dipped below the horizon, a soft symphony of whirring and clicking rose from the mechanist's workshop. What had initially appeared to be intricately designed beetle sculptures revealed their true nature, parting their decoratively engraved protective wing covers to unveil stained glass wings beneath, which in turn parted to reveal an incandescent bulb which buzzed as it cast its warm glow. These beautiful mechanical fireflies, suspended from the workshop's walls and adorning its tables, transformed the space into a sanctuary of radiant artificial light, mirroring the dance of their living counterparts in the meadow just beyond the workshop's threshold.
