This unique vintage brooch was crafted in Mexican silver and dates from the 1960s. It features a beautiful Native American-inspired design depicting a white tailed deer, giving the piece a distinctive rustic and naturalistic character.
The combination of the traditional silverwork and rugged deer motif makes this a particularly charming accessory. It would be the perfect brooch to complement a vintage, rugged or outdoors-inspired wardrobe, and would also make a wonderful addition to a collection of vintage silver jewellery.
After more than 60 years, the brooch remains in good vintage condition and shows only minor signs of age and use. Over the decades, the silver has developed a beautiful natural patina, which enhances the details of the design and, in my opinion, only adds to its character and charm.
Vintage juvenile fox taxidermy mount – ‘Vulpes vulpes’
This charming juvenile fox was professionally mounted in France and displays beautifully natural and lifelike characteristics.

The detailed pose and expression give the mount a wonderful sense of character.
This little chap deserves a nice home where he can be admired and appreciated! He would make a wonderful and unusual decorative piece, whether displayed in a country home, hunting lodge, cabin, or cabinet of curiosities. And of course, he makes an excellent guard pet — although we cannot guarantee he’ll be much help against intruders!
The fox remains in good vintage condition and shows authentic signs of age and wear. There was a small tear to the inside of the left hind leg, which has been carefully stitched and is now barely noticeable. Please see the photographs for the overall condition.
