A striking Victorian taxidermy pheasant mounted in full flight against a dramatic natural driftwood backdrop.

This impressive wall-mounted display captures the bird with wings fully spread, showcasing the beautiful plumage, iridescent neck feathers and long sweeping tail feathers for which the species is renowned.

Mounted upon a carefully selected piece of weathered natural wood, the composition creates a sense of movement and realism, making it a highly decorative example of traditional Victorian sporting and natural history taxidermy.

The rich chestnut, cream and bronze tones of the plumage contrast beautifully with the organic form of the driftwood mount.

Pieces of this scale make exceptional statement displays within country house interiors, hunting lodges, libraries, studies, curiosities collections or natural history-inspired settings.
