Thomas Richard Jefferies & Sons King Street Carmarthen, Wales
Very little is known about this company of taxidermists. It is understood that Jefferies of they were initially master carvers and guilders and moved to Wales from London and operated from King Street in Carmarthen for a significant number of years. The quality of the taxidermy is very good, if not a little repetitive. Perhaps their main regional competitor at the time was James Hutchings, who like Jefferies had a very distinct style in case production.

Whilst Jefferies cases bear a similarity to those of James Hutchings in terms of basic design and internal layout, Jefferies cases were nearly always constructed of Mahogany and or English Oak wood. Hutchings on the other hand tended to build cruder pine cases, using "clout nails to hold them together. Jefferies on the other hand dovetailed joints and left the wood exposed and polished. These cases are far more substantial and a good deal heavier. It is ironic however that Hutchings cases are looked on as better value.
I must admit that Hutchings taxidermy is superb, but the case construction is a little "Heath Robinson". Both taxidermists operated at a similar time and both in Wales. More has been written about Hutchings. The Jefferies family business closed its doors in 1933, leaving behind a natural history legacy for others to collect and admire. If anyone has any further information on this firm then please feel free to contact us.
