MOUNT OPTIONS
World-Class Custom Mount Types
Every trophy is unique. We offer a comprehensive range of custom African taxidermy mounts, each sculpted and resized to fit the precise anatomy of your skin, because no two animals are ever the same.
Life-Size Mounts
Full-body taxidermy crafted with meticulous attention to anatomy, posture, and movement. Thoughtful habitat elements recreate the animal’s natural environment, making each life-size mount a commanding centrepiece that captures the spirit of the wild.
Floor Pedestal & 3D Wall Mounts
Exceptional presentation on custom-crafted African hardwood bases with tanned skin inlets, smooth finishes, or species-inspired cutouts. 3D wall mounts extend beyond the wall for immersive, multi-angle displays in custom wooden frames or Africa-shaped backboards.
Half Mounts
Capturing the animal’s natural posture, expression, and detail with remarkable realism. Half mounts preserve the character and spirit of the trophy. A display that tells the story of the hunt with authenticity, fitting seamlessly into any space.
Shoulder Mounts & Wall Pedestal Mounts
Tanned Skins & Rug Mounts
European, Skull & Tabletop Mounts
European mounts feature a cleaned, white skull on a wooden shield, minimalist and refined. Skull mounts retain natural bone colour and texture. Tabletop mounts bring the same expert craftsmanship to smaller spaces, capturing presence and detail in a compact, polished format.
