Stunning Wall Mounted 20th Century Blue Antique Taxidermy Peacock Full Long Tail

This is a magnificent antique taxidermy peacock, dating from early to mid 20th century, wonderfully perched on a branch wall mount adding a touch of nature. It is a statement decorative piece showcasing the extraordinary beauty of one of nature’s most admired birds.

Long associated with royalty, beauty, immortality and grandeur, the peacock has captivated collectors and artists for centuries. It's gorgeous feathers serve as a symbol of divine protection and all-seeing knowledge. For this reason, the peacock is the ultimate royal bird, and King Charles himself has said the peacock topiary at Sandringham was one of the most profound influences on his love of gardens and nature.

At Goat & Chair Antiques we believe historic specimens such as this deserve to be cherished as surviving pieces of history. Preserving these wonderful examples of natural history allows their beauty, craftsmanship and cultural significance to be appreciated for generations to come.

In good condition overall, some age-related wear and the feathers appear to be largely intact with no major damage.

A wonderful focal point for a country house, traditional library or eclectic interior, bringing history and character to any room.
