English under domed hummingbird sculpture

Fantastic antique under glass domed hummingbird sculpture. this sculpture contains approximately 30 birds mostly "hummingbirds" that were probably tropical because their colors are so bright. This dome was brought from England 30 years ago. The fact that it was covered in nicotine from a mans den protected it from the light of day keeping the birds bright and in superior condition. The taxidermist that placed the birds in this dome was a true artist placing each bird in a position that is so true to life. The hand blown glass dome measures 28 inches high by 16 inches wide by 10 inches deep.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
