Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1800s:
Hand-gouged tool marks across the back: carving completed before machine milling.
White gesso layer visible under worn paint: early traditional preparation of the wood.

This folk art wall sculpture dates from c1800 and takes the form of a realistically carved wooden deer head mounted on a shaped, distressed parcel-gilt shield plaque. The piece is finished in a dark brown paint with an ornate, distressed gilded backplate and is mounted with real deer antlers. Visible signs of age include scuffs, chips, cracks, scratches, old repairs, and a replaced ear, all contributing to the aged finish. Measuring 33.5 cm high, 22 cm wide, and 18.5 cm deep, this wall hanging is suspended using the rear hanging loop. It works well displayed in a hallway, study, or above a mantel in a home styled with a Highland hunting lodge aesthetic.

FAQs

Carved wooden deer trophies originated in Alpine and Black Forest regions during the nineteenth century as handcrafted decorative wall displays celebrating woodland fauna and hunting traditions.

These carved mounts were typically constructed from local hardwoods such as lime, pine, or walnut, finished with paint, gilding, and occasionally integrated with genuine horn or antler mounts.

Authentic period carvings exhibit visible hand-tool impressions, uneven surface patination, natural wood shrinkage, and genuine age-related wear to applied paint or gold leaf.

A carved wood trophy functions as a textural focal point when mounted above a fireplace mantelpiece, positioned within a gallery wall, or placed in an entryway.

Position carved wood away from direct heat sources and humid environments to prevent timber splitting, dusting gently with a soft dry brush to preserve the surface patina.
