How should I clean taxidermy mounts?

Dust natural hides and antlers gently using a soft brush or a cool hairdryer set to a low speed. Avoid using water, chemical cleaners or soaps on taxidermy fur and leather, as moisture damages the preserved materials. Keep wooden shields clean by wiping them occasionally with a dry cloth to maintain the finish of the oak or timber.

How can I tell the period of a mount?

Examining the timber backing, fixings and any inscriptions on the wooden shield provides clear clues to the age of the piece. Nineteenth-century examples often feature hand-carved oak panels and older fastening methods on the reverse. Twentieth-century pieces may include stamped maker details or paper trade labels attached to the wood, helping to narrow down the decade of production.

What rooms suit these wall trophies best?

These pieces suit traditional studies, hallways and living spaces where their rustic aesthetic complements heritage interiors. High ceilings provide the ideal backdrop for larger stags' heads and wide antler spreads. Placing mounts away from direct sunlight and strong heat sources protects both the taxidermy hide and the wooden shield from drying out over time.
