European mounts aren’t just about a clean look they’re one of the most anatomically honest ways to preserve an animal.
Here’s some cool facts:
• A European mount displays the full skull structure, including nasal turbinates, sutures, and tooth alignment that are hidden on shoulder mounts.
• Antlers are bone, not horn — they’re grown and shed annually, making each rack a one-of-a-kind biological record of age, nutrition, and genetics.
• Whitening is done without paint; the brightness comes from degreasing and controlled oxidation, preserving natural bone detail.
• European mounts last indefinitely when properly prepared 🔥 no hide, no rot, no shrinkage over time.
• This style dates back centuries and was originally used for scientific study and trophy documentation, not decoration.
Simple. Raw. Timeless.
A true look at what nature built. Enjoy him Corey!
