This wall decor piece dates from the early 20th century in the Highland Lodge style. It comprises natural polished steer horns mounted horizontally on a shaped solid oak heart-shaped shield plaque with a dark textured fur centre band, finished in warm brown tones. The horns measure 83 cm from tip to tip, and the shield measures 56 cm high by wide. Ideal for placement above the mantel in a home today, the object brings rustic character to interior spaces. The timber displays a polished wood grain and carved edges along the shield plaque, while the horns curve outwards symmetrically from the dense central hide band.

FAQs

Mounted steer horns became prominent in interior decor during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, frequently featured in rural estates, shooting lodges, and traditional country houses as decorative architectural accents.

These mounts typically feature natural polished cattle or steer horns attached to a hardwood backplate, such as oak or mahogany, often with a central section trimmed in hide, fur, or leather.

Authentic period examples generally display solid hardwood backboards with hand-carved or bevelled edges, natural surface striations along the horn, and original iron hanging hardware on the reverse.

Position the mount as a central focal point above a mantelpiece, sideboard, or entryway wall to complement natural timber furniture, dark paint schemes, or leather upholstery.

Dust the horns and wooden shield regularly with a soft, dry cloth, and occasionally treat the timber with clear beeswax polish while keeping the item away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
