AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description of the fascinating vintage taxidermy trophy of a wild boar Sus scrofa original from the eighties, mounted on a shaped solid wood shield.
This imposing bust presents substantial dimensions: a height of 70 centimeters, a width of 50 centimeters, and a depth of 50 centimeters, paired with a real and substantial weight of 11.73 kilograms, making it a display piece with great visual impact, ideal for embellishing rustic lounges, taverns, professional studios, or high-end natural history collections.
The specimen is in its fully original state from the period, preserved exactly as it was born in the eighties, with no modern restoration or maintenance interventions, to guarantee the maximum historical integrity of the object.
The coat stands out for its thick, robust fur, characterized by the typical brown and grayish tones that preserve the authentic charm of the vintage piece.
The proud gaze and the animal’s expression capture the essence of wildlife.
A detail of great collectible value is represented by the lower tusks that protrude in a pronounced and realistic way, giving character to the taxidermy mount.
As visible in the images, the object shows genuine, historical signs of time consistent with its age and with the pastes and resins used in the late twentieth century, including natural fissures on the inner surface of the mouth and palate that do not affect the structural solidity but increase its collectible value and vintage charm.
An authentic vintage taxidermy work suitable for enthusiasts seeking a unique and history-rich decorative element.
Careful shipping with reinforced bespoke packaging, given the delicate nature, volume, and significant weight of the object.
