A 19th Century Cased Taxidermy Red Squirrel and Blue Tit - A 19th-century taxidermy diorama featuring a red squirrel and blue tit housed in a glass and wood display case. The specimens are mounted in a naturalistic setting, with the red squirrel posed on a faux rock holding a nut and the blue tit perched on a branch below. The rectangular display box is constructed with a black-painted wooden frame and a natural-finish wood back panel. The interior is decorated with moss, dried grasses, and a fine gravel base, accented by a decorative book spine element. No maker marks, signatures, or taxidermist labels are visible on the case or specimens.
