Natural History - Latest Purchases

At Battle, we love Taxidermy and Natural history specimens; here's a selection of our latest purchases that will be coming into the shop over the next few weeks. The Tigers head dates from the 1920's; faded grandeur adds to the charm of this piece.
Three sets of Shark jaws, the largest measuring 42cm wide, look fantastic arranged as a trio on a surface. Why not combine them with the Turtle (above) for a marine display?
Although these pieces and more will be in the shop over the coming weeks, please feel free to send us an e mail if you are interested in any of them or would like details of what other pieces will be joining them in the shop.

Battles Current Window - "Fragile" February

Our current window display is a meeting of Antiques and common packing materials, with pieces dressed by materials that we wouldn't usually see unless moving house or perhaps transporting that delicate item we love.
A fantastic ebonised Boulle work bookcase from late 19th century; with movable shelves to accommodate even those large books that we all struggle to house. It is inlaid with brass, mother of pearl and ivory to both the doors and pediment. £950

The 18th century corner cupboard (above centre) has its original paint work to the interior and its galleried top still intact. The religious print applied to the cupboard door lifts it from the norm, and is one of our favourite pieces in the shop. £620
These library steps date from around the turn of the century, and are a great addition to any library or home. Both attractive and practical, we have two sets in stock at present. The one above being the tallest standing at just under one metre eighty centimetres. From £380 - £420.
