Antique Taxidermy
Taxidermy dates back to ancient Egypt, with the earliest known mount in existence today, a crocodile hanging from the ceiling of a cathedral in Ponte Nossa, Italy. Taxidermy became very popular in the Victorian era, where they loved to bring the Natural world into their home.
The picture below shows an Elephant outside of one of the most prominent taxidermists of the 19th and 20th Century – Roland Ward.
Louis James Auctions works hard to consign Rare and interesting pieces of taxidermy that has a story to tell..
