FAQs

Taxidermy mounts, particularly sporting trophies like foxes and stags, gained immense popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras as symbols of rural pursuits and natural history fascination.

Traditional mounts typically utilise a cured animal specimen, glass eyes, wire and tow frameworks, and a carved wooden shield or backing board, often made from oak.

Authentic antique pieces often feature hand-carved wooden shields, traditional stitching, period taxidermy techniques such as papier-mache or plaster forms, and natural ageing of the fur and materials.

These pieces work effectively as focal points on dark painted walls, paired with rich textures like leather and heavy wools to create a layered, heritage-inspired aesthetic.

Preservation requires keeping the specimen away from direct sunlight and high humidity, dusting gently with a soft brush, and protecting it from insect pests using appropriate conservation methods.
