Trimeresurus albolabris, snake skeleton from Indonesia in a black wood frame.
Also known as White-lipped pit Viper, venomous pit viper species endemic to Southeast Asia. Its meals consist of birds, small frogs, and small mammals. This snake doesn't strike and release its prey; like many arboreal snakes, it strikes and holds on to the prey item until the prey dies. Results of bites from this species range from mild envenoming to death.
The venom of white-lipped pitviper contains procoagulant properties.
Impala horns, from Zimbabwe, in a walnut wood base.
The Impala is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. Active mainly during the day, the impala may be gregarious or territorial depending upon the climate and geography. The impala is found in woodlands and sometimes on the interface (ecotone) between woodlands and savannahs; it inhabits places near water.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies the impala as a species of least concern.
Non CITES species.
The Pond Slider (Trachemys scripta) is a species of common, medium-sized, semi aquatic turtle.
In Europe, Trachemys is included since 2016 in the list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern (the Union list). It originally comes from the Gulf of Mexico, but this specimen was bred in a nursery in Emilia-Romana, Italy. This turtle have a very variable colour and pattern, some time they can exhibit exceptional looks and made them very desirable.

The Redtoothed Niger Triggerfish typically exhibits a deep purple hue with bluish-green undertones, but after preparation, it transforms to an almost black coloration. Like other fish in the family Balistidae, it boasts a lyre-shaped tail. The triggerfish's mouth appears to be grinning, showcasing tiny red teeth that are needle-sharp, including two upper jaw teeth visible even when its mouth is closed. While initially peaceful, these triggerfish can become more aggressive with age and may produce a grunting-type sound. This unique specimen is elegantly displayed in a matte gold lacquered wood vitrine designed by One of a Kind.

The Mako Shark (Isurus sp.) exhibits remarkable variations in both shortfin and longfin species. The shortfin mako can grow up to 4 meters in length and weigh a staggering 570 kg. Adult specimens typically measure around 2.5 to 3.2 meters in length and weigh between 135 and 230 kg. This species displays sexual dimorphism, with females generally being larger than males.
The longfin mako shark closely resembles its shortfin counterpart, but possesses distinct characteristics such as larger pectoral fins, dark coloration around the mouth, and larger eyes. Shortfin makos are commonly found in offshore temperate and tropical seas across the globe, while the closely related longfin makos are typically observed in the Gulf Stream or warmer offshore waters like New Zealand and Maine.
These pelagic creatures inhabit depths ranging from the surface to 150 meters, often far from the shore but occasionally venturing closer to islands, inlets, or coastal areas. Notably, the Mako Shark is one of the few known endothermic shark species, capable of maintaining a body temperature higher than the surrounding water. It tends to avoid waters colder than 16°C.
While recorded human encounters with Mako Sharks are rare, it's important to note that large specimens can pose a potential threat. Exercise caution and respect when observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
This particular specimen hails from the waters of Madagascar and is expertly mounted on a base crafted from black lacquered wood. Embrace the captivating allure of this Mako Shark specimen, an extraordinary addition to any collection or decor project.

Victorian Taxidermy
Armadillos can be found in Texas, the southern United States, throughout Central America and in northern South America.
In keeping with the Victorian taste for exotic curiosities, fashionable ladies have worn these baskets on their arm and coordinated the silk lining with their outfits.
They were also used as sewing baskets from time to time.
This is a larger one, the tail forming the handle, lined with green silk fabric, Circa 1880.
Whiptail stingrays are a family, the Dasyatidae, of rays in the order Myliobatiformes.
They are found worldwide in tropical to temperate marine waters, and a number of species have also penetrated into fresh water in Africa, Asia, and Australia. Members of this family have flattened pectoral fin discs that range from oval to diamond-like in shape. Their common name comes from their whip-like tails, which are much longer than the disc and lack dorsal and caudal fins.
All whiptail stingrays. This is a dried specimen coming from Philippines and is mounted in new design and created wood and glass vitrine with magnetic closure by One of a Kind.

Spectacular Aetobatus narinari jaws reveal the distinctive tongue of this remarkable species. Mature spotted eagle rays can reach lengths of up to 5 meters, with the largest individuals boasting a wingspan of up to 3 meters and weighing up to 230 kilograms. Spotted eagle rays primarily prey on bivalves, crabs, whelks, and other benthic invertebrates. They also consume mollusks, crustaceans—particularly malacostracans—echinoderms, polychaete worms, hermit crabs, shrimp, octopuses, and small fish.
The specialized chevron-shaped tooth structure of the spotted eagle ray aids in crushing the hard shells of mollusks. Their jaws feature calcified struts that support them and prevent damage when breaking through tough prey shells. These rays exhibit unique behavior, often observed digging with their snouts in ocean sand. This particular specimen hails from the waters of Madagascar and is presented in a double black lacquered wood mount, meticulously crafted by One of a Kind.
The Bathynomus giganteus is a species of aquatic crustacean belonging to the order Isopoda. It is a member of the giant isopods (Bathynomus), and while distantly related to shrimps and crabs, it exhibits unique characteristics that set it apart.
Found in the benthic regions of cold waters, Bathynomus giganteus thrives in depths ranging from 310 to 2140 meters in the West-Atlantic, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The unusually large size of Bathynomus giganteus is attributed to a phenomenon known as deep-sea gigantism, where invertebrates living in cold, deep waters tend to grow larger and have longer lifespans.
This particular specimen was captured at a depth of 500 meters in a deep-sea lobster trap in the French West Indies, showcasing the remarkable biodiversity of our oceans.
Presented in a glass vitrine atop a black wood base, this Bathynomus giganteus specimen serves as a fascinating reminder of the mysteries that lie beneath the ocean's surface.
