Red Deer Stag Shoulder Mount

Red Deer Stag Shoulder Mount

P. Spicer & Sons, Leamington

Red deer (Cervus elaphus), natural antlers, preserved skin, glass eyes, oval wooden backboard and iron hanging bracket

Approximately 108 cm (42½ in.) across the antler tips

An impressive early 20th century red deer stag shoulder mount by P. Spicer & Sons of Leamington, the head presented frontally beneath a broad spread of richly coloured antlers. The finely modelled features, naturalistic glass eyes and warm brown cape give the mount considerable decorative presence. The original oval wooden backboard retains the maker's stamp and an aged iron hanging bracket. The Spicer workshop was among England's distinguished taxidermy establishments, particularly celebrated for sporting trophies and natural history specimens. Good overall antique condition, with minor age-related wear to the fur, muzzle and wooden backboard. Collection from 1AB, Isle of Man. Delivery by arrangement.
