About us


Mandibles is South Africa's first Natural History store trading online in taxidermy, skulls, horns, antlers, tortoise shells and bones out of Cape Town.

Professional taxidermist Philipp Schulz has been working in the field of taxidermy since 1997. Through his export company he sells taxidermy and natural history products to collectors, museums and retailers worldwide.

Due to a growing local demand for taxidermy and decorative natural history products, Philipp and his partner Julia founded "Mandibles - A Natural History Collection" in 2012. After five successful years at The Woodstock Foundry in Cape Town we transformed Mandibles into an online store for our South African customers. Read more about us here:
