Turtle Taxidermy For Sale on 1stDibs
With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the piece of turtle taxidermy you’re looking for. Frequently made of animal skin, marine turtle and bone, every item from our selection of turtle taxidermy was constructed with great care. There are many kinds of the choice in our collection of turtle taxidermy you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 19th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. An object in our assortment of turtle taxidermy is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Victorian styles are sought with frequency. Many designers have produced at least one well-made option in this array of turtle taxidermy over the years, but those crafted by J. Antony Redmile are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
Finding the Right taxidermy for You
The centuries-old practice of taxidermy continues to enjoy remarkable longevity, with today's top designers making mounted and preserved animals key elements of their decor.
Taxidermy captures animals in an eternal moment of animation, so perhaps it’s fitting that the deployment of these preternaturally preserved creatures — and other natural specimens — as decorative accents has endured far longer than the sell-by-date for most design trends. Certainly, the style-setting enthusiasts of tasteful decorating with taxidermy are as passionate as they are many.
Martha Stewart is a lifelong lover of the preservationist’s art, and she has proudly posed with the vintage game birds, foxes and bears that adorn Skylands, her 1920s retreat in Seal Harbor, Maine. Angelina Jolie began an avian menagerie when her daughter Shiloh brought home a dead bird she wanted to keep as a pet. Danielle Steel has an elegant Paris residence packed with exotic specimens, including a giraffe in the foyer. Over-the-top taxidermy remains the flashy signature of party planner and decorator extraordinaire Ken Fulk.
For Chicago decorator Summer Thornton, the reason for taxidermy’s persistent appeal is obvious: “There’s nothing more beautiful than natural creation.” New York designer Ryan Korban agrees: “They add a layer of whimsy to a room that no other decorative arts element can give.” Patrick Mele, another New York designer, thinks there’s a spiritual component to this attraction. These creatures, he says, “are a special gift to be around. Birds, especially, are so colorful they look hyper-real. They remind us that those crazy colors are right there in nature.”
In the vast inventory of collectibles and curiosities on 1stDibs, find antique, new and vintage preserved and mounted taxidermy specimens for your Wunderkammern, mantle or carefully curated home library.
