AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of mink skins tanned (Mustela / Neovison sp.) – complete with head, feet and tail – 85 cm

Description

Beautiful pair of old mink skins, tanned and preserved complete with head, feet and tail.

The skins display a natural brown fur, particularly dense, silky and shiny, with beautiful color nuances and excellent uniformity. The heads are preserved with the ears in place, the feet are intact and the long tails are complete.

The skins are supple thanks to the tanning and offer a very nice presentation. They are suitable for both a natural history collector and a decorator, costume designer or enthusiast of antique furs.

The condition is very good. The fur is full, with no significant loss visible, the tails are complete, and overall they present a high aesthetic quality. The skins have not been restored.

* Total length (tail included): 85 cm
* Maximum width: 11 cm

Condition

* Very good overall condition.
* Soft tanned leather.
* Dense, shiny and well-preserved fur.
* Heads, feet and tails complete.
