Vintage French Taxidermy Red Squirrel – 1960s Brocante Find on Wooden Base

This delightful vintage French taxidermy red squirrel is a true brocante treasure, sourced from a traditional market in France. Dating back more than fifty years, it has been carefully preserved and remains in good vintage condition, showing only the gentle wear expected from an older piece.

Mounted on a wooden base and designed to stand freely, this little squirrel makes a wonderfully quirky addition to a living room, study, or curiosity cabinet. It would also be a thoughtful and unique gift for any taxidermy enthusiast or collector of unusual home décor.

A particularly charming feature of this example is that it still retains its ears, which are often the first part to deteriorate on vintage taxidermy squirrels. With its sweet pose and tiny nut held between its paws, it has real character and display appeal.
