These bird specimens were taxidermied prior to 1950. Discolouration due to age, as well as some damaged specimens, should be noted.
Sold as is, a vintage piece typical of cabinets of curiosities.
None of the avian species (birds) featured in this diorama are listed under the Washington Convention (CITES), nor in European Community Regulation 338/97 of 9 December 1996, but are covered by the French Environmental Code (CE), given that they were taxidermied prior to the date on which the various protection regimes under that code came into force.
