Fine Taxidermy Magnificent Bird of Paradise by Sinke & Van Tongeren
About the Item
Magnificent Bird of Paradise really is the official name for this species. Have a closer
look to see why.
Being able to work on a bird of paradise certainly is a privilege. But this species is an even greater treat. Great colors, great features, great feathers.
We created it while doing its show of on a piece of Chinese Coral hanging on a brass hoist. All mounted on a hand made rosso portogallo marble base under a large antique dome for its protection.
Note: Not available for the US due to Migratory Birds Treaty Act.
All animals used for our work came from captivity and died on natural causes. No animals are raised or killed for our work.
The works of Dutch Artists Sinke and van Tongeren are inspired by golden age old master painters like d' Hondecoeter, Weenix, Snyders, Bachelier and others. They are beautiful collections of rare exotic animals in flamboyant striking poses and dramatic compositions. Their sculpting skills enables them to create animals that act almost like in a human manner.
