Mount types

We offer the following

Each presentation uses a different part of the animal — which is why it’s worth deciding before the skin is prepared. Below is what each one means, with examples from the studio and a gallery for each.

Shoulder mount

Shoulder mounts

Uses the shoulder cape, skull and horns. Your trophy can face different directions, and several pose options are available — alert, sneak, upright or turned.

  • Uses shoulder cape, skull and horns
  • Left, right or straight-on presentation
  • The most wall-space-efficient option

Wall & table pedestal

Wall & table pedestals

Both use the shoulder cape, skull and horns. A wall pedestal hangs off-centre with one shoulder more exposed than the other, for more movement and depth than a shoulder mount. A table pedestal sets the same mount on a finished base that stands on a table or shelf, with habitat built in if you like.

  • Off-centre, sculptural wall presentation
  • Free-standing table version, no wall fixing
  • Turned wooden or habitat bases
Pedestal mount

Pedestal mounts

Uses the shoulder cape, skull and horns in the same way as a shoulder mount or wall pedestal, then mounts your animal onto a free-standing pedestal. Multiple animals can share one pedestal as a group piece.

  • Free-standing floor piece
  • Single or multi-animal compositions
  • Custom cabinetry, panelling and inlays

Full mounts

Uses the full skin of your animal, normally mounted on a floor base with habitat. The pose is built to your instruction — walking, alert, feeding or in mid-stride.

  • Uses the full skin
  • Pose and habitat to your instruction
  • Floor bases, plinths or cabinet bases
Half mount

Half mounts

Uses the front cape, front legs and hooves. It can hang on a wall or stand on the ground against a wall using a custom-built base — the drama of a full mount in half the floor space.

  • Front cape, legs and hooves
  • Wall-hung or floor-standing
  • Excellent for predators and action poses

European / skull mount

Skull mounts

A bleached skull mounted onto a wooden shield. A bracket or pin can be added for different display options, and skull bleaching is available on its own if you’d rather mount at home.

  • Bleached skull on a finished shield
  • Bracket, pin or free-standing options
  • The most compact way to ship a trophy
Rug mount

Rug mounts and flat skins

Several rug and flat skin options, from simple felted-edge flat skins to full rug mounts with an open-mouth head. Tanning and leathering is sub-contracted to a professional tannery.

  • Flat skins, felted rugs and full rug mounts
  • Zebra, predator and plains game
  • Also available as cushions, bags and throws

Feet and tail mounts

Nothing from your animal needs to go to waste. Feet, hooves and tails become pieces you use every day, finished in the studio to match the rest of your collection.

  • Lamps, bookends, ashtrays and tables
  • Beaded and plain tail swishes
  • Zebra, buffalo, giraffe, waterbuck and more
Wall art

Wall art

Uses the full body cape. An expansion of the wall pedestal that creates a three-dimensional effect, with the skin shaped and set into a hand-cut shield — most often the map of Africa.

  • Uses the full body cape
  • Africa-shaped or custom shields
  • A statement piece for an entrance hall

A full gallery is on the way.
