Taxidermy – Little Owl (Athene Noctuain) Circa 1910

1900 - 1920
Description

A delightful little case, unlabelled but very much in the manner of Rowland Ward of London

Just 29.5cm High x 25cm Wide x 15cm Deep.

Notes on the Little Owl: Most of the UK's Little Owls are thought to originate from successful introductions during the late 19th century. However, there are earlier Little Owl sightings. Two Little Owls were spotted in London in 1758; both were assumed to be escapees from private collections. In 1808, there was a further record in Devon and two more in Cumbria in 1811.

In 1842, Charles Waterton acquired some Little Owls from Rome and released them in Walton Park, West Yorkshire but there is little evidence that these owls bred.

Apparently the first Little Owl introduction was by Edmund Meade-Waldo in Stonewall Park, Kent - he released 40 owls between 1874 and 1880. A pair first bred there in 1879. A second successful Little Owl introduction was carried out by Lord Lilford, in Northamptonshire during the 1880s.

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

Edwardian cased taxidermy refers to natural history mounts produced between 1901 and 1910, characteristically presented inside glass-fronted or full-glass display cases with naturalistic foliage backgrounds.

Traditional construction involved timber frames, blown glass panes, metal structural joins, and natural groundwork materials including dried grasses, mosses, and paper-mache terrain.

Authentic pieces from this period typically display hand-blown glass, age-appropriate wear to timber frames, period glass eyes, and naturalistic dried background flora fixed with historical adhesives.

Cased taxidermy is often styled on bookshelves, sideboards, or console tables within traditional libraries, dark academia spaces, or eclectic living rooms alongside vintage leather-bound books and brass objects.

Keep the display case out of direct sunlight and away from damp or variable heat sources to prevent fading and deterioration of the internal specimen and vegetation.
