Victorian

We are a group of the UK's largest and most dedicated collectors. We are always seeking to purchase only quality items of Victorian and Modern taxidermy. This Website is now the most comprehensive worldwide, and was established August 2004. Arguably this site represents a History of British Taxidermy, given the number of taxidermists represented. No other internet site has the same level of detail and content. Not a boast just a simple fact.
Now there are Hutchings collectors and there are Hutchings collectors. This chap is perhaps the largest. These images are just a sample of what is in the collection. Most people do not have 40 cases by Hutchings let alone 44 foxes by one person. Also an additional 33 cases of foxes by other makers, so nearly 100 in total. Add that to the additional 1200 other quality cases and this is quiet a collection. That said we are always interested in buying more of the same. Just click on the Dragon below to see more images.

TAXIDERMY ITEMS WANTED. Please respond via this on-line form HERE with a description of what you have for sale.

Victorian European Curlew and chick, by Hodder "Presever of Birds and Animals" of North Street Clapham, London and not for sale. Very much in the style of James Hutchings, but by a Victorian London Taxidermist.
A pair of Skylarks with 4 chicks preserved by Pratt of Brighton. This Taxidermists features prominently in the Booth Museum. The above case is the best Pratt of Brighton case I have ever seen in terms of attention to detail and the overall balance within what is a compact case. Pratt tended to produce large cases, which sometimes made the birds look a little lost.
