A beautiful leucistic peahen, which came to me with four toes missing, damaged crown feathers, missing neck feathers, in need of cleaning, painting of the beak and legs/toes, removal/remounting of one eye, reshaping one side of the beak, rebuilding missing eye ring, and adding groundscap.e

A late 1800s piece was in relatively good condition, but required extensive cleaning and restoration of the groundwork.

This lynx was received with no base, only exposed bolts from the feet. Fur replacement, repainting of facial features, and extensive groudscaping made this piece complete.

A gorgeous rooster in good condition, but as a vintage piece, the natural comb was used (as opposed to silicone ones used today), and parts had been broken over the years. Additionally, paint had worn off and the specimen was in need of cleaning.

In addition to lacking a base, the work required for this piece included cleaning, fixing damage to the cobra’s face, creating a more realistic mouth/tongue for the mongoose, removing/replacing loose eyes, and repairing peeling skin on the cobra.

This case required extensive restoration, including thorough cleaning, eye replacement with authentic antique glass eyes, repositioning and securing of birds to original poses, painting of wood case, and replacement/cleaning of groundwork.

This lovely antique moorhen was in need of cleaning, feather repair, repainting from incorrect colours, and camouflage of disintegrating toe webbing.
