Natural History

taxidermy-giant-anteater-for-sale-front.jpg

An extremely rare antique taxidermy Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla)
First half 20th century

Zebregs&Röell highly values the natural world, and therefore only trades in antique specimens or animals that died of natural cause. We hope that these might spark a bit of love for the natural world. We value the pieces that are already there, hunted and made in a time the human race thought mother nature was inexhaustible, we are against hunting for pleasure or for new taxidermy.

 

Please note that all our pieces come with a 'pre-1947 statement' or CITES-documents and we strictly abide international and national nature conservation laws - we are glad to be of service with obtaining CITES documents, although purchasing is at your own responsibility.
