This famous taxidermy firm ran for nearly 80 years, founded around 1844 by James Gardner, and was continued by his son, also James Gardner. The firm held Royal Warrants for Her Majesty Queen Victoria, The Royal Families of England and France plus many more notable clients. The firms place as one of the great British taxidermists is fully deserved.
