DATE: 03/04/2025

We are now inviting entries for our upcoming Curiosities, Taxidermy & Entomology Sale, a specialist auction celebrating the strange, the unusual, and the eye-catching.

We welcome all forms of taxidermy, from traditional mounts of birds and mammals to the more unusual, including skeletal articulations, deformed specimens, and anthropomorphic displays, alongside entomological pieces such as framed butterfly and beetle collections, rare specimens, and striking natural wonders from the insect world.

We're also seeking the weird and wonderful—from peculiar natural oddities like unusual rock formations, mummified creatures, and fossilised marvels, to man-made curiosities such as objects with hidden functions or surreal designs, eerie grotesqueries, macabre anatomical models, or even automata.

If it fascinates, surprises, or defies classification, it just might belong in this sale!

Just fill out our quick form to start the process and one of the team will be in touch. You can also reach out directly by phone or email at auctions@davidduggleby.com | 01723 507111. Our experts are here to provide free valuations and sales advice, with no obligation to sell – so if you decide not to consign, that’s no problem.
