FAQs

Carved wooden animal heads and trophies gained popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries, often created as decorative alternatives to traditional taxidermy or as export pieces reflecting global influences on domestic interior design.

These items are typically hand-carved from dense hardwoods such as teak, mahogany, or oak, often utilising fine chiselling techniques to texture the skin and incorporating inset elements like glass for eyes or bone and ivory for tusks.

Authenticity is determined by examining tool marks, the natural oxidisation and patina of the wood, the type of joinery or mounting hardware used, and signs of age-related wear such as minor shrinkage cracks.

Such pieces serve as striking focal points on plain walls, pairing well with neutral backdrops, architectural mouldings, or eclectic gallery displays to add texture and historical character to a room.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the surface.
