72203Taxidermy on naturalistic base 41 cm tall including base. = A very nicely made vintage taxidermy parrot. The crimson rosella Platycercus elegans Gmelin is a parakeet from southeastern Australia in particular New South Wales and Tasmania but also occurring localy along the Queensland sea board and in the eastern parts of Victoria. Sometimes it is divided into several - up to seven - subspecies. This specimen seems to belong to the nominate form but perhaps an expert may hold a different view. An attractive item.

72201Norwich T. E. Gunn pre 1923. Taxidermy cased 41 x 31 x 17 cm in naturalistic setting. Black wooden case with glass front; interior painted light blue. = A fine wonderfully preserved stuffed and cased specimen of a female common kestrel Falco tinnunculus Linnaeus. German: Turmfalke; French: faucon crécerelles; Dutch: torenvalk. This falcon is one of the most successful birds-of-prey in the temperate regions of the Old World occurring in a wide variety of landscapes. It preys on mice and other small animals. "The kestrel was once used to drive and keep away pigeons" Wikipedia. This specimen probably dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. The case differs from most such cases in having a more detailed and naturalistic setting. This must be the work of the renowned British taxidermist T. E. Gunn. There is no label of the firm but we have seen very similar cases which are doubtlessly from this firm moreover this item could be traced to the Norwich area. "Thomas Gunn.was born at Norwich in Norfolk. Gunn was apprenticed to John Sayer a Norwich taxidermist taking over the business on Sayer's death. A master craftsman Gunn won medals and honours for his skill in the art of taxidermy. He ran the business until 1923 bearing his name. His son Frederick retired from his father's business in 1941. The firm closed its doors in 1950" from the website taxidermy4cash dotcom. Case with some wear the interior clean and fresh. A beautiful example of taxidermy as a skill and an art.

123831. Taxidermied barn owl; late 20th century; mounted in a case with 3 glass sides in a naturalistic setting with a tree branch the case measuring 33 x 21 x 44.5 cm.<br /> A handsome taxidermied barn owl mounted on a tree branch in a diorama style case with glass on three sides.<br /><br />The common barn owl Tyto alba is one of the most widely distributed of all bird species. Its evocative ghostly appearance and haunting shriek has contributed to its reputation as an ill omen in international folklore. In ancient Egypt they were known as 'the one who laments' and as a hieroglyph were depicted in an unusual face-forward pose to highlight their striking features just like this example.<br /> unknown
72202Norwich T. E. Gunn pre-1923. Taxidermy cased 40 x 30 x 15 cm in naturalistic setting. Black wooden case with glass front; interior painted light blue. Printed label on rear board. = A fine wonderfully preserved taxidermy cased specimen of the Eurasian sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus Linnaeus German: Sperber; French: épervier. This little bird is one of Europe's most ferocious birds-of-prey even hunting in city gardens. Its typical lifespan is four years but the oldest-known lived for more than 20 years. Currently the sparrowhawk is recovering from a population crash that occurred during the 1950-1980's due to pesticides. This specimen however is much older probably dating from the late 19th or early 20th century predating 1923. The case differs from most such cases because of its more detailed and naturalistic setting. This is the work of the renowned British taxidermist Thomas Edward Gunn 1844-1923 of Norwich. With a label of his firm mounted on the rear board. The label provides a great deal of information on the scope of his business including the sale of many different natural history objects such as eggs insects preserved reptiles fish etc. etc. "Thomas Gunn . was born at Norwich in Norfolk. . Gun was apprenticed to John Sayer a Norwich taxidermist taking over the business on Sayer's death. A master craftsman Gunn won medals and honours for his skill in the art of taxidermy. He ran the business until 1923 bearing his name. His son Frederick retired from his father's business in 1941. The firm closed its doors in 1950" from the website taxidermy4cash dotcom.

191260725London: Rowland Ward 1912. Price list. Four different examples of this publication from Rowland Ward two with the title above one from 1904 with the caption title "Stuffed Animals: Museum Specimens All Mounted in Standing Positions" and one from 1912 with the caption title "Price List of Mounted Specimens for Museums". 4to. The lists vary from three to ten pages rectos only two include a full page illustration of a stuffed elephant one torn three include a Rowland Ward decorated cover sheet. Animals from Africa predominate but there are also specimens from India Asia Europe North and South America and Australia; prices seem to top out at $500 for an African elephant typically an entry would include common name of the animal its genus and species its sex country of origin and price. Apparently none of these lists are located on OCLC. Folded for mailing one with a receipt stamp two with ink docketing. Very good lot of scarce Rowland Ward ephemera.

123830. Taxidermied pike; 1983; mounted in a naturalistic diorama depicting a stream bed with flowing plants housed in a rectangular case measuring 93 x 15 x 33.5 cm.<br /> A large and handsome taxidermied pike mounted in a diorama depicting a stream bed with flowing plants.

72205London John Cooper & Sons 1928. Taxidermy gilt-bordered bow-fronted case 45 x 25 x13 cm in naturalistic setting. = With label 'Perch caught in the Ouse by John Catchpole August 28th 1928 1lb 7oz'. Taxidermy items with such detailed information are quite uncommon. The style of this case strongly reminds of those made by the London firm of J. Cooper and Sons which was active from the mid-19th century until the 1950's. However the Ouse is a river in Yorkshire which may indicate that perhaps a northern taxidermist produced this excellent example of a mounted fish in its natural surroundings. The perch Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus German: Barsch; French: perche; Dutch: baars is an angler's favourite throughout Europe. Some slight wear to the wood panelling slight abrasion of the gilt border otherwise in very good condition. Note: we do not ship this item outside the EU. unknown
