Description

Fine example of a stuffed and mounted Barn Owl in its original glass display case, dating from the late 19th / early 20th Century. It has been very well preserved and mounted, perched on a branch in a naturalistic setting amongst natural foliage and green. It is set in a good quality glass fronted pine case with a raised moulded border. It has a good solid back which is part covered with old paper and has a strong ring for hanging on a wall.

It is in good condition due to the protection the case has given over the years. The owl's feather's are full and have a good colour. There is no deterioration around his feet or legs and he looks very healthy. The background is clean and tidy with no major signs of deterioration or wear. The wooden case itself has a good aged patina with no major damages and has been lightly cleaned and waxed.

Please have a good look at all the photos for the best description and if you have any questions please ask. Collection from Ashburton, Devon or local delivery available. Nationwide delivery via courier can be arranged - please get in touch for an accurate quote. London likely to be around £30.
