Taxidermy in the UK

Mr Barry Williams of Cannock



If you are interested in the work produced by this Taxidermist, please respond via this on-line form Here .

We get asked to recommend Bird Taxidermists in the UK and America. This taxidermist produces modern creations utlising many of the design features and case building techniques created by the Victorian Taxidermists. This taxidermy art form has changed little over the years. Preservation techniques in terms of the use of chemicals has changed and groundwork has become more realistic. Apart from that the taxidermy techniques used 150 years ago are still relevant today.

Started practising Taxidermy as a hobby in 1973 and as a full time job in 1984. Later this year I shall be bringing out a book on the history of English fish Taxidermists 1825 - 1961. The Book will be a limited edition and it follows the development of fish taxidermy during the most popular period of taxidermy here in England. Apart from my Taxidermy business in Cannock I have a partnership with an old friend Chris Ellam in Ballanluig near Pitlochry. The cases on this page are unfortunately not for sale but provide a demonstration of my abilities. I also cary out restoration work. Please look at the Clungunford cases at the bottom of the page. The birds formed part of much larger cases, that were able to be restored. Barry work is not confined to cased birds and mammals but also cased fish. Very much in the style and attention to detail as John Cooper. He also undertakes superb cases in the Style of James Hutchnings, some examples are located on this page.

John Cooper & Sons

Barry is also the author and perhaps UK authority on the life and wrok of the famous fish taxidermist, John Cooper. The book is pending, but no doubt it will be an enlightening read. This book will also be a must for taxidermy collectors, but sadly it will be limited to a small print run.
