Natural History Auction (Expert Highlight)

A rare colorful toucan is offered.
This comes from a collection liquidation.
It was prepared around 1950 and completely redone last year.
So not only were the feathers cleaned, but the hide was brought into a species-typical form, new glass eyes installed, and the beak and bare skin areas elaborately colored.
The toucan sits on a vine and is mounted on a discreet, matte black metal stand for display.

The sale is only within the EU!
