A striking antique taxidermy badger, presented in a classic alert stance upon a beautifully textured natural root base.

The specimen displays the distinctive facial markings synonymous with the species, with contrasting light and dark bands framing the face and extending into the coarse, natural fur of the body.

The mount captures a sense of movement and curiosity, with the badger positioned as though navigating woodland terrain.

The use of a substantial, organically shaped root base enhances the realism, offering depth, texture, and a strong visual presence.

Badgers have long held cultural significance within British wildlife and folklore, making this piece particularly appealing to collectors of natural history, country house interiors, and traditional taxidermy displays.
