Velvet Fischer’s Turaco Decoration

Regular price £15.25

A beautiful, exclusive hand-beaded and embroidered hanging decoration featuring a Fischer’s turaco from our aviary here at Waddesdon.

In conjunction with the heralded exhibition Flights of Fancy, the Birds of Waddesdon is a new bespoke range celebrating the birds that are looked after in the Aviary here at Waddesdon.

Built in 1889 and filled with colourful and exotic birds, the much loved Aviary at Waddesdon plays an important role in conservation breeding projects of endangered species.  Around one third of the species in the Aviary are at risk of extinction to some degree.

Illustrated by British artist Madeleine Floyd, our favourite feathered friends are now able to come home with you and brighten up your own nest whilst helping to support the valuable work that is being done to further the conservation work that has long been associated with the Rothschild family.

Illustrations by Madeleine Floyd exclusively for Waddesdon Manor.

Madeleine Floyd studied Fine Art and Illustration at Camberwell College of Art, London. She is well known in both fields for her illustrations and paintings, which are published around the world. All of Madeleine’s fine art originates from her studio in London.
