The allure of taxidermy, brought to you by Jonas Rathaj
Introducing people to animals that they didn’t even know existed is so exciting. It’s an opportunity to educate them on how to protect these special creatures and their habitats.
Jonas’ father has more than 40 years of experience as a museum taxidermist, so living and working with taxidermy was an everyday occurrence for Jonas growing up. As a child, he was fascinated with the diverse anatomy of animals and it didn’t take long for him to follow in his father’s footsteps. Learning the tricks of the trade from a tight-knit community of experienced taxidermists, Jonas started his own business as a taxidermy retailer at a young age – quickly becoming acquainted with the ins and outs of this unique market. With a particular soft spot for Hornbills, Jonas finds no greater joy than seeing these majestic birds up close and sharing his passion and knowledge with fellow enthusiasts. As a Taxidermy Expert at Catawiki, he is able to discover beautiful new pieces every day and curate auctions that showcase Mother Nature’s most wonderful creations.
