Fine Taxidermy Tower of Owls by Sinke & Van Tongeren
About the Item
We found this beautiful ornament years ago in a London antique shop. We immediately thought ‘Owls!’ But had to wait for four years to collect the right species that matched the measurements of this of woodwork perfectly. In the centre we sculpted a Spotted eagle owl. This is the smallest of the eagle owl family and is originally from Africa. This species is known for their ‘earfeathers’ that stand out pretty far. On the other parts of the tower, we placed three pygmy owls. Because of their size we created them in ‘showing off’ poses to be able to fight for attention with the much larger Spotted eagle owl. Altogether there is a great harmony in this classical ensemble.
Note: All animals used for our work came from captivity and died on natural causes. No animals are raised or killed for our work.
The works of Dutch Artists Sinke and van Tongeren are inspired by golden age old master painters like d' Hondecoeter, Weenix, Snyders, Bachelier and others. They are beautiful collections of rare exotic animals in flamboyant striking poses and dramatic compositions. Their sculpting skills enables them to create animals that act almost like in a human manner.
Note: Not available for the US.

Named after Maarten Dirk van Renesse van Duivenbode (June 2, 1804 – March 31, 1878) who was a Dutch merchant, trader of bird skins for fashion and naturalia.
