Set of Six Antique Roe Deer Trophies on Wooden Shields, Germany 1896/1897
Item e8298

A decorative set of six antique roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) antler trophies, mounted on traditional wooden shields and dating to the late 19th century (1896–1897). Each piece features a natural roe deer skull with antlers, carefully prepared and affixed to a shaped wooden plaque.

Several of the trophies bear handwritten inscriptions directly on the skull, indicating the date and location of the hunt, adding authentic historical character. The individual antler formations vary in shape and size, making the ensemble visually dynamic and especially appealing when displayed as a group.

Trophies are mementos from the hunted game, which are kept by the huntsmen as a souvenir or decorative item. For many centuries it was a tradition to collect trophies. Nowadays exactly these are becoming more and more popular as decorative highlights in hunting lodges.
