About DSvT collection:
CNN: 'The men who turned taxidermy into strangely beguiling art.'
Financial times: 'The stuffed that dreams are made of.'
The telegraph: 'Sinke and van Tongeren elevates taxidermy to fine art.'
Note: For all our fine Taxidermy works we have a clear statement about our animals being sourced from zoo's and breeders. About them having lived and died in captivity and them not being killed for any reason. For this specific work we cannot make that claim. For this great object we worked with antique finds. So we cannot make any statements about heritage of the horns and antlers.
