Description

Height: 85cm

Width: 38cm

A striking antique taxidermy eland horn mount, displaying the species’ impressive spiral horns set onto the original skull core.

The horns rise with elegant symmetry, showing the characteristic twist and substantial scale associated with eland, one of the largest African antelope.

The surface presents natural ageing and patination consistent with early taxidermy and hunting trophy practices, giving the piece a strong, authentic presence.

This mount would traditionally have been produced as a statement display for a study, hall, or collection, valued for both its sculptural form and ethnographic or natural history interest.

The restrained presentation allows the dramatic horns to remain the focal point, making it equally suited to period interiors, cabinet-of-curiosities displays, or contemporary spaces seeking a bold natural element.

Care instructions
Display in a dry, stable environment away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or damp conditions. Dust occasionally using a soft, dry brush or cloth, avoiding pressure on the horn tips or skull surface. Do not apply oils, polishes, or cleaning products, as these can darken or damage the horn over time. Regular visual checks are advised to ensure the mount remains free from pests and excessive humidity.
