An unusual vintage French taxidermy weasel or stoat, mounted on a wooden base and sourced from a French brocante market. Small in size but full of character, this well-worn piece has the rustic, timeworn appeal often sought by collectors of natural history, curiosities, cabinet of curiosities displays and decorative taxidermy.
This piece is being sold at a reduced price as a restoration project. It has visible damage to the legs, tail and ears, along with general wear throughout, so it would suit someone looking for a characterful project piece rather than perfect-condition taxidermy. I am not certain whether it is a weasel or a stoat, so please use the photographs as the main guide to species, condition and display potential.
