A rare 8 pointer Black Forest fallow deer (Dama dama) trophy from the palace of Salem in South Germany. Shot by a member of the lordly family of Baden in 1894. The handwritten inscriptions are on the skull with, place of the hunt, family crest and date. It is mounted on a turned wooden plaque and in good condition.

Trophies have long served as meaningful keepsakes, reminders of the hunt and symbols of tradition. For centuries, hunters proudly collected and displayed them, and today these pieces are enjoying a remarkable revival. Their rustic character and timeless appeal make them standout decorative accents, especially in cabins, lodges, and homes that embrace a warm, nature‑inspired style. They don’t just decorate a wall - they tell a story and bring a touch of heritage into any space.
