Taxidermy Cases today
Some interesting vlaues which as time goes on may serve as a barometer to future swings in this market. This information was compiled from discussions with taxidermy collectors, auction house data and the public sale of items on Ebay. The information was also compiled between 2003-present. Interestingly enought for those who perhaps view this collecting as an investment, in 2003 the average price per case was £860, whereas today the picture is somewhat different.

Some 782 cases, that we are aware of have sold, totaling £366,007.01 giving an average cost per case of £468.03
Interestingly this figure includes the current dispersal of the Andy Henry Collection on Ebay (The first collection in it's entirety to be disposed of). Clearly this data is now out of date and it does include include the partial sale of The Victorian Taxidermy Company's stock and the most recent large sales also. It does however make interesting reading and perhaps a guide to future prices. This is only a guide and does not represent the entire UK taxidermy market place, just a small personal view. The figures are accurate and it is our view that we shall see a steady decline in cost / value?, of cases in the future. Let's hope you did not buy at the top of the market so to speak. Not a good retirement fund. Al;so it is interesting to note that prices fluctuate between auction houses, Ebay and direct enquiries. That said we tend to buy direct these days and at auctions
