Preserved Wonders - Taxidermy Masterpieces (A948)

Description:

Presenting a distinguished collection of taxidermied animals, sourced from legally sanctioned expeditions between 1984 and 1993. This collection features specimens from Africa, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, along with items from Australia and New Zealand. While the African specimens were imported into Australia in full compliance with CITES regulations, other items have been acquired and preserved within their countries of origin, ensuring ethical and legal acquisition.

This diverse collection not only highlights the rich wildlife of these regions but also showcases the artistry involved in taxidermy. The specimens were expertly mounted by professional taxidermists, reflecting exceptional craftsmanship. All items have been maintained in pristine condition within the owner’s private display and have not been exhibited publicly, making this a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts.

This auction offers a unique chance to acquire a remarkable collection steeped in history and artistry.
