FAQs

A taxidermy shoulder mount is a preserved specimen depicting the head, neck, and upper chest of an animal, mounted onto a wooden shield or backing board for wall display. Popularised in the 19th and early 20th centuries, these mounts were traditional features of natural history collections, country estates, and private libraries.

Mounts from this period typically feature preserved natural animal hides and genuine horns set over a mannikin form. The structure is anchored to a hardwood plaque, such as oak or mahogany, with glass eyes inserted to replicate natural appearance.

Authentic period taxidermy displays specific indicators including natural aging on the timber plaque, hand-painted glass eyes, and historic mounting techniques such as wood-wool or plaster forms. Natural patina on the horns and light surface wear along hide seams also assist in verification.

Positioning taxidermy in a hallway, library, or above a fireplace adds organic texture and historical interest to contemporary spaces. Combining taxidermy with dark wood panelling, modern artwork, or neutral plaster walls creates a balanced focal point within eclectic interiors.

Display the mount away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity to prevent hide shrinking or fading. Dust the fur gently along the direction of the hair using a soft brush, and wipe the horns with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or water.
