Presenting a beautifully detailed antique Black Forest hand-carved Roe deer mount, sourced directly from the UK and likely dating to the late 1800s or early 1900s. The genuine skull cap and naturally aged six-point antlers are securely mounted to a striking, dark wood plaque that showcases exceptional European craftsmanship and beautiful hand-carved textures. The intricate plaque features a motif of crossed branches at the base supporting a central crest or shield, all flanked by deeply dimensional oak leaves and acorns. With its rich, dark patina and captivating natural history appeal, this striking mount is a quintessential piece for curating a dark academia or moody vintage aesthetic. The piece remains in wonderful antique condition, showing lovely natural wear and a deep, aged finish commensurate with its history. The reverse of the plaque reveals the rustic, hand-hewn wood surface, and a recessed notch with a sturdy wire, ensuring it is ready to hang and add immediate character to a gallery wall, study, or library. Please review all high-resolution photos for a closer look at the intricate carving and natural variations of the antlers.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.
SHIPPING As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.
