Victorian Taxidermy- Ring Necked Parakeet in Picture Frame Case by William Bazeley & Sons of Northampton. Circa 1900

1900 - 1920
Description

The name "Bazeley" in the taxidermy field of collecting is well known; however, it’s usually the younger brother George whose taxidermy turns up today.

This case is by William Bazeley (older brother) and from my experience is much rarer. I have had many cases by George Bazeley cases over the years, but this is the first time I have owned a case by William. In ‘A History of British Taxidermy’ by Cristopher Frost, George is discussed in detail, but Williams only mention is that ‘George had been trained by his elder brother’.

William Bazeley (1858 – ?) worked from around 1880 until the early 20th century. The delightful trade label on this particular case, states ‘Naturalist, Taxidermist, Bee Hives & Appliances’ and further lists ‘frame maker, picture dealer and print seller, plus restoring & re-gilding’. The ‘frame makers’ entry being evident in the quality of the frame he has chosen for this case.

His business on Sheep Street, Northampton, operated from various numbers including 27, 29 & 31, plus number 32 stated on this label.

Condition: Totally original and hard to find like this today. The case has never been opened, retains its original decorative gilt frame, glass, and tape.

Note: There is a small crack to the bottom glass panel, that is out of sight.

Provenance: Purchase privately by ourselves from where it has hung (away from direct light) for the last 50 or so years.

Measurements: 42cm x 33cm

FAQs

Victorian taxidermy cases are sealed glazed enclosures designed to display preserved animal specimens within naturalistic setting backgrounds. During the nineteenth century, these cases became popular decorative additions to domestic interiors, serving both educational and aesthetic purposes.

Traditional cases utilised timber frames decorated with plaster gilding or dark varnishes, along with hand-blown glass panels. Backgrounds typically featured painted scenes accompanied by dried grasses, moss, and natural debris to recreate the animal natural habitat.

Authentic Victorian examples often feature original paper trade labels from recognised taxidermists inside the case or on the reverse, original glass panels, and period-appropriate joinery such as paper-taped edges or small brass fittings.

Cased taxidermy fits well into gallery walls alongside dark wood framing, placed on deep shelving in a home office, or displayed as a focal accent on a mantelpiece within maximalist or traditional decor schemes.

Taxidermy cases should be kept in stable humidity conditions away from direct sunlight to prevent feather fading and insect infestation. The exterior glass can be cleaned with a damp cloth, avoiding moisture contact with internal paper tape or wooden joints.
