About the Item
Title: Trophees Defence
An impressive set of 12 sculptures creating a wall of weaponry. Real antique horns and antlers facing the viewer and forcing it into defence.
From left to right and top to bottom: Hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus)
Billy goat (Capra aegagrus hircus), Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex), Bezoar Goat (Capra aegagrus), Goat (Capra aegagrus hircus), Common Eland (Taurotragus oryx), Moose (Alces alces), Oryx (Oryx gazella), Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), Mouflon (Ovis orientalis orientalis), Springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis)

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.

The third series of photographs by Fine Taxidermists Sinke & Van Tongeren
After observing and analyzing so many 17th century paintings, they were inspired to create a new series of work focused on still life masterpieces. They chose photography as the medium to portray their fine taxidermy work interpreted through vanitas still life's.
The collection, ‘Les Peintures des Taxidermistes’, comprises eight works.
Vanitas still lifes were enormously popular in the 17th century, often inspired by biblical themes and the saying that “All is vanity”. It reminded the viewer of his or her own mortality. For these series of still lifes Sinke & van Tongeren not only created meaningful scenes of taxidermy, they also mined their enormous collection of great finds to gather the most beautiful and unusual antiques to complement each scene.

Quoting Charles Darwin I
a Fine Taxidermy Tableaux by Sinke
Van Tongeren
By Sinke
Van Tongeren
Located in Haarlem, NL
This monumental work is inspired on the famous quote of Darwin. “If everyone were cast in the same mould, there would be no such thing as beauty.” It is because of this quote that we added Darwin to our name Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren. This quote also fits our goal to do all our taxidermy work without the use of factory moulds that are typical for contemporary taxidermy.
We sculpt all our bodies by hand and therefor can create the unique poses like how they line up in this mayor work. We combined many different birds with many different features from many different points of the compass. Together they form a 17th Century like composition of colours and poses. This collection varies from the rare African Congo Peafowl and a gracious Stanley Crane to a regular Dutch chicken.

Fine Taxidermy Hamerkop by Sinke
Van Tongeren
By Sinke
Van Tongeren
Located in Haarlem, NL
Hammerhead (Scopus umbretta) is a medium sized wading bird. The shape of his head with a long bill and crest at the back looks like a hammer. This gave the species its name after the Afrikaans word for hammerhead ‘Hamerkop’. We sculpted this Hamerkop in a very gracious and friendly pose. Its base is tailor made with antique wood and velvet. Housend under an antique 19th century glass dome...
