Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Taxidermy mounts gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as interest in natural history expanded. Specimen horns were frequently mounted onto timber shield plaques to document wildlife species or adorn sporting estates and libraries.

These mounts comprise authentic horn sheath material attached to the skull structure, often set with a section of preserved hide. The entire structure is affixed to a hardwood backing board, typically carved from oak, mahogany, or pitch pine.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural patination and surface wear on the timber shield, along with age-appropriate shrinking or drying of the horn material. Older mounting techniques often utilise period slotted screws and hand-cut timber fixings on the reverse.

Horn mounts serve as structural wall focal points when positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece, within a gallery wall, or situated in a study or hallway. They pair effectively with dark wood panelling, muted paint palettes, and textured leather upholstery.

Dust the horns and shield regularly using a soft bristles brush or dry microfibre cloth. Keep the item away from direct sunlight, central heating sources, and damp environments to prevent cracking of the horn sheath or warping of the wooden shield.
