A Victorian taxidermy leopard skin rug with half head

A Victorian taxidermy rug in superb condition. This well mounted, half head rug is of plaster and straw form and has been re-backed on black felt (remnants of original brown felt visible in places).

This piece will not be to everyone's taste - we would much prefer to see this beast alive - but having been mounted in a time with different values to ours, we prefer to preserve and enjoy this piece, rather than lose it.

Dimensions:

Length 207cm (exc. tail 130cm)

Width 114cm front/120cm rear

Condition: Where there are specific points to note we will detail these as far as possible but please be aware that all our items have wear commensurate with age and are as seen in the photographs. If you require any specific information please do not hesitate to get in contact.
