This characterful vintage French taxidermy red squirrel is mounted on a wooden plaque and makes a striking decorative piece for a natural history collection, cabinet of curiosities, country house interior, study, library, or rustic wall display. Sourced from a French brocante market, it has authentic age, charm, and presence, with minor wear in keeping with its estimated 50+ years of history.
The squirrel is presented on a shaped wooden mount and remains in good vintage condition overall. There are signs of age and use, including some historic French woodworm evidence to the wooden plaque; this is long gone and has also been treated as a precaution.
