From actual castle estates in Austria and Romania we are offering these Life-Sized hand carved wooden Stag heads with real antlers. The heads have been carved around the early 1900's by a 2nd generation master carver Peter Dimitrov, his great grandson Mitko Dimitrov has remade the panels in his great grandfathers style. Mitko is a 5th Generation master carver. The antlers have been remounted with modern hardware for easier and safer transportation. Wooden deerheads were popular in the early days of taxidermy due to the poor methods of preserving the actual skins plus it was considered bad luck to have the real skull or hide hanging in ones home or castle. This is what made the concept of wooden heads so popular among the aristocracy of old Europe. Please email for actual sizes, as each is unique due to carving and antler variations.
