Victorian Taxidermy
It was born from the demand of the Victorians who wanted to display natural history and at the same time show off their collections.
Now, the best pieces of Victorian Taxidermy are sought after, fought over and treasured by collectors.
Original research at The Velvet Drawing Room now uncovers the styles, stories and the masterpieces of the Victorian Taxidermists whose legacy is left behind.
