An exceptional Edwardian guillemot taxidermy specimen displayed in its original hand painted case, dated 1906. Shown in beautiful winter plumage, the bird is mounted against a softly painted coastal backdrop with naturalistic rock detailing beneath.
The original case has a wonderful faded blue interior and retains its aged character throughout, giving the piece a true museum-like quality. A striking decorative object for collectors of natural history, antique curiosities, or traditional taxidermy.
A rare survival complete with its original early 20th century presentation case. Wear consistent with age throughout.
