Sell Your Collection
Has your cabinet of wonders begun to crowd itself, with beetles elbowing for space beside pressed ferns and fox skulls peering out from the shadows? Perhaps it is time to let certain treasures wander on. This is our invitation to you: a place where insects, plants, taxidermy, oddities, and peculiar artifacts may find safe passage into the ever-curious archives of Peculiar Botany.
We understand that each piece carries a story—be it a moth collected on a summer’s eve, a fern pressed between the pages of a travel journal, or a relic stumbled upon in some forgotten market. To part with them is no small thing, and so we promise to welcome your specimens with care, reverence, and a touch of delight.
By entrusting them to us, you allow your curios to begin a new chapter—where they will be preserved, celebrated, and admired by kindred spirits who share your fascination with the peculiar.
What We Seek
Our tastes are eclectic, our fascinations many. We welcome:
- Insects – delicately pinned Lepidoptera, beetles in glass domes, or carefully kept collections from ages past.
- Plants – pressed herbarium sheets, dried botanical specimens, carnivorous wonders, and strange cultivars from the green and growing world.
- Taxidermy – antique mounts, unusual beasts, rare birds, or the occasional fantastical hybrid.
- Oddities – bones, skulls, shells, fossils, wet specimens, and fragments of natural history.
- Curiosities – peculiar instruments, medical relics, strange artifacts, and anything that inspires both fascination and a raised eyebrow.
How the Exchange Unfolds
- Introduce Your Treasures – Send us photographs and descriptions of the pieces you wish to rehome.
- Our Consideration – We examine rarity, condition, and curiosity value before presenting you with a fair offer.
- The Passage – Whether by careful shipping or personal handoff, we ensure your items travel safely into our keeping.
- A New Chapter – Your specimens will live on within Peculiar Botany, to be admired, studied, and perhaps whispered about.
Why Peculiar Botany?
- Guardians of the Strange – From moth wing to marrow bone, we treat each item with reverence.
- Ethics Above All – We accept only those pieces acquired lawfully and responsibly.
- Kindred Spirits – Our passion lies not in commerce alone, but in the joy of curiosity itself.

Let customers speak for us
My partner and I loved our bug pinning class with Rachael. She was so knowledgeable about the subject and many other preservation methods. 15/10 would recommend to friends.
Absolutely love the finished product. I explained what I wanted and she DELIVERED!!! Communication was top tier! Can't wait to order another piece!
