An Imposing Early 20thC Mounted Taxidermy Sable Antelope Skull & Horns sub-Rugs- Carpets & Textiles binding firm in most places

binding firm in most places

This example is in very good condition

with the only areas to note being a small section of loss to the wicker and a small dint to the side of the iron face

In good vintage condition there is some fraying to the edges and some old paint stains to the poles but this aside they remain sound

with the tough skin on the elephants and texture to the palm fronds both well rendered
