Taxidermy – Remarkable Pet Dog by Hutchings of Aberystwyth. Early 20th Century.

1920 - 1940
Description

A labelled case by J Hutchings of Aberystwyth (his small trade label can be found internally pasted to the front upright, plus a faint chalk inscription to the verso of the case reads ‘Davies 37’ which is most likely the customer’s name and the year 1937. The family firm of Hutchings finally closing its doors just five years later.

Just 45cm wide x 49cm high.

Notes: James Hutchings started his taxidermy business in the 1860’s and was followed by his sons with the business finally closing down in 1942.

Very little introduction is needed with this well-known Welsh taxidermy firm, the firms case style being easily recognizable, however the cases are seldom labelled, but as the subject matter gets more interesting or important the more likely it is that you can find a small trade label (even two or three) pasted within, as with this particular case.

It is probably fair to say that Hutchings work today turns up more frequently than all Victorian taxidermists. The area they covered was vast and a prolific one, there preservation methods were also formidable and have held of the ravages of time as good as any other taxidermist and in most cases probably better, even the cases themselves are of a good solid construction.

Nothing makes a farm house kitchen look better or more lived in than a Hutchings case sitting on a Welsh dresser.

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 late Victorian and Edwardian periods, pet taxidermy gained popularity among owners seeking to preserve domestic companions. Professional taxidermists mounted domestic dogs and cats inside sealed, glass-fronted cases featuring painted backdrops and custom velvet or fabric cushions.

Traditional cases were constructed using wooden frames, glass viewing panes, and internal gilt slip mouldings. Interior elements included hand-painted paper backgrounds, textile-covered pedestals or cushions, and preserved organic mounts.

Authentic period cases display signs of age such as slight craquelure on painted backdrops, original float glass with subtle distortion, and paper tape seals along the rear paneling. Maker-specific attributes, such as signature gilt inner borders or trade labels, also assist in identification.

Cased taxidermy can be placed on a bookshelf, sideboard, or mantelpiece alongside leather-bound volumes and brass objects. The geometric structure of a glass case provides a focal point within dark academia, Maximalist, or eclectic interior arrangements.

Display cases should be kept in a stable environment away from direct sunlight, excess humidity, and heat sources to prevent fur fading or deterioration. Exterior glass surfaces should be cleaned gently with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping the rear paper seals intact.
