NATURAL HISTORY & TAXIDERMY
We are collectors of museum quality taxidermy from the British Colonial rule in India, specialising in tiger, leopard and lion. We predominantly collect fine examples with the intent of preserving pieces for future generations. We also buy, sell and restore these antiques. All items are legally CITES compliant, antique pre-convention, nothing modern.
Why is natural history important?

a Bygone Era
Artefacts of a bygone era, are a crucial part of history that should not be forgotten
Artistic Preservation
Preserving what was once living is an art form in itself, to be admired for generations to come.
The Future
To acknowledge our past, is crucial to ensure we can shape the future and conserve endangered species

“Preserving natural history is important; because it is maintaining the natural beauty of what was once living, potentially sparking interest in future generations to conserve the future of a living species”
