Barn Owl (Tyto alba)

We are proud to present to the enchantment one of the most iconic and fascinating nocturnal raptors: a magnificent taxidermied specimen of the Barn Owl (Tyto alba), often nicknamed "the ghost of the night" for its silent flight and the whiteness of its plumage.

The animal has been prepared with exceptional technical skill. The specimen is depicted in a vigilant and upright pose, typical of the moment preceding a hunt or attentive territory observation.
The distinctive heart-shaped facial disk is perfectly framed, highlighting the deep, piercing dark glass eyes, which give the raptor an expression of intense liveliness. The plumage is in excellent preservation: the chest and abdomen boast a pristine, fluffy, immaculate white, while the back and wings present the classic, refined mix of ochre, golden, and ash-gray tones, finely speckled.
The raptor is firmly positioned on a tall, rustic synthetic wooden stump, whose rough texture and the addition of natural green moss inserts create a superb color contrast with the light tones of the bird, enhancing its three-dimensionality and situating it in a wild environment.
The taxidermic work is of the highest level. The anatomy is rigorously respected, from the powerful legs with sharp talons to the position of the head. The feathers are clean, well aligned, and free of signs of wear.
This lot represents an absolutely prestigious piece for ornithology collectors, Wunderkammer enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a striking decorative element capable of uniting classical elegance with the mysterious charm of nature.
