Repairing a leopard skin rug

By Country Queries of The Field

Friday, 15 June 2012

I have a complete leopard skin, backed with green felt and including full mounted head, which has seen better days. Do you know someone who can advise me how to repair such a leopard skin item or even a firm that might do it for me?
HB, Rutland

For a full assessment of the leopard skin email photographs to Chris Elliott.

He has more than 30 years' experience as a professional taxidermist working with birds, animals and fish. From the photographs you send he can give an approximate idea of the work involved and the cost.

For further information, call him on 01832 733022 or visit www.taxidermist.uk.com.
