Natural History & Taxidermy at The Auction Room London
Our Natural History & Taxidermy department brings together an extraordinary range of specimens and historically significant works. These pieces are featured in both dedicated auctions and as highlights within our selected sales. From prehistoric fossils and rare minerals to Victorian cabinets and finely preserved taxidermy, our offerings appeal to collectors, institutions, and interior designers alike. We’re proud to have handled pieces by iconic taxidermists including Rowland Ward, Van Ingen of Mysore & more.​​
​
​Once considered a niche collecting area, Natural History and Taxidermy are experiencing a resurgence, appealing to new generations for both their academic value and their visual, often dramatic, appeal in interior spaces.
​
We are mindful that taxidermy can be a sensitive area, and we ensure that all items offered for sale comply fully with CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna) regulations.
