Description

Height: 38.5cm

An impressive antique taxidermy sparrowhawk, mounted in a poised and watchful stance upon a naturalistic branch base.

The bird is captured with striking realism, its vivid yellow eye and finely patterned plumage reflecting the sharp, predatory nature typical of this species.

The delicate barring across the chest and the subtle tonal variation through the wings and back are particularly well preserved, offering a detailed study of one of Britain’s most agile birds of prey.

Mounted on a rustic wood slice base with natural elements, the composition evokes a woodland setting while keeping the focus firmly on the specimen itself.

Sparrowhawks have long been admired for their speed and precision, making this piece highly desirable for collectors of British wildlife, natural history, and traditional taxidermy.
