Leighton Hall Auctions' natural history and taxidermy department offers a fascinating collection of specimens that showcase the beauty and diversity of the natural world. Our auctions feature a variety of taxidermy mounts, fossils, minerals, and other natural history artifacts. Each item is carefully appraised for its scientific and aesthetic value, providing both buyers and sellers with confidence in the authenticity and quality of the pieces.

Compliance with CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) and DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) regulations is a top priority in our natural history and taxidermy auctions. Our team ensures that all specimens meet the necessary legal requirements, guaranteeing that the trade in these items is ethical and lawful. This commitment to legal compliance provides peace of mind for both buyers and sellers.

For sellers, our experts provide detailed valuations and targeted marketing strategies to present your items to a wide audience of collectors and enthusiasts.
