Taxidermy Specimen Great Cormorant

1900 - 1920
Description

This striking taxidermy mount features a Great Cormorant in a lifelike standing posture, perched atop a textured, stone-like base. The bird’s body is angled forward with its beak extended outward, evoking a sense of alertness and readiness. Its plumage is predominantly dark, with subtle iridescent tones and lighter patches along the neck and chest, capturing the species’ natural coloration. The tail feathers are extended and slightly fanned, adding to the dynamic composition. The craftsmanship highlights anatomical accuracy, particularly in the positioning of the webbed feet, the curvature of the neck, and the gloss of the feathers, hallmarks of a well-executed bird taxidermy.

Height = 52.5cm (20.6")

Width = 63cm (24.8")

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

Natural history taxidermy gained wide popularity during the 19th century, serving both scientific research and decorative purposes within private cabinets of curiosities.

Traditional avian mounts utilise preserved natural skin and feathers fitted over a sculpted core, often featuring glass eyes and mounted on synthetic or natural stone bases.

Authentic historical taxidermy typically displays age-appropriate wear, glass eyes with subtle hand-made variations, period wirework, and occasionally taxidermist maker labels.

Taxidermy specimens can be placed on bookshelves, sideboards, or inside glass display cases to add natural history interest and varied texture to a room scheme.

Dust taxidermy gently in the direction of the feathers using a soft paint brush or feather duster, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.
