An exceptional example of early 20th-century taxidermy, this full-size Scottish wildcat (Felis silvestris grampia) is mounted in an aggressive, snarling stance upon its original scenic base.

A rare and striking survivor from a bygone era, this mount captures the elusive and fierce spirit of Scotland’s native predator—once widespread across the Highlands and now a protected and vanishing species.

Crafted with lifelike intensity, the wildcat features its original glass eyes, a preserved full pelt with characteristic brindled coat and tail banding, and an expressive open mouth revealing meticulously preserved fangs. It stands poised amidst naturalistic groundwork and bark elements, all fixed to a solid wooden base.

A rare opportunity for collectors of antique taxidermy, natural history, and Highland heritage.
