Pair of Taxidermy Pheasants

19th century
Description

A striking late 19th-century taxidermy display featuring a pair of pheasants, preserved in lifelike detail and housed within a glazed wooden case. One bird, resplendent in chestnut, emerald, and black plumage, stands alert; its companion, more softly toned in beige and brown, rests nearby—together forming a naturalistic woodland tableau. The interior is staged with artificial moss, grasses, and branches, evoking a woodland floor, while the painted backdrop—light blue with silhouetted trees—adds depth and atmosphere. The case is fitted with twin metal hanging hooks and retains its original glass panels and frame, showing gentle wear consistent with age. A decorative and educational piece, ideal for collectors of natural history, period interiors, or those drawn to the curious charm of Victorian craftsmanship.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the nineteenth century, the study of natural history became a popular pastime across Britain and Europe. Glazed display cases were crafted to protect preserved specimens from dust and insects while presenting them in recreated naturalistic habitats.

Traditional cases were constructed using timber frames, glass panels, painted paper or board backdrops, and dried botanical elements such as mosses, ferns, and lichen to mimic woodland or field habitats.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces typically feature original blown or float glass, hand-cut timber joints, aged paper linings, and natural fading to plumage consistent with age.

A cased specimen works well as a focal accent placed atop a sideboard, bookcase, or mantelpiece, particularly within country house, rustic, or dark academia decorative schemes.

Keep the display away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature changes, and high humidity to prevent fading and deterioration. Clean the glass exterior gently with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners near the timber frame.
