FAQs

During the Victorian period, taxidermy transformed from a scientific practice into a popular domestic hobby and interior decoration trend, with preserved specimens often displayed under glass domes to protect them from dust and deterioration while showcasing exotic nature.

Traditional antique taxidermy displays typically combine hand-blown blown glass domes, wooden circular bases often turned from mahogany or ebonised wood, dried botanical elements, moss, and the preserved avian specimen.

Authentic antique taxidermy specimens often feature hand-blown glass domes with slight imperfections or bubbles, historical taxidermy techniques, period-specific wooden bases, and natural materials that show signs of age and genuine oxidisation.

Antique taxidermy domes work well as focal points on bookshelves, sideboards, or mantelpieces, adding texture, historical depth, and a cabinet of curiosities aesthetic to eclectic, maximalist, or transitional interior schemes.

To preserve antique taxidermy, keep the glass dome sealed to protect the specimen from pests, moisture, and dust, and place the piece away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent fading.
