Natural History Sale










You can see the full sale catalogue online here.

If you can't fit the skeleton in your sitting room, you can purchase a few T Rex teeth on a stand ($7,500- $10,000 US) or perhaps a woolly mammoth tusk for $25,000 - $30,000 US?
The new 'natural history' sale category reflects a current desire for this type of object by decorators and collectors. Auctions have to supply what the market wants to stay in the game.
I assume the collection is being deaccessioned by a museum or university collection, this is an unfortunate consequence of the tight times we live in and seems to be a lot more prevalent in the international market place.
