Our European mount service is a type of taxidermy that professionally cleans and preserves the skull and antlers of a harvested animal for display.
A European mount (or "Euro mount") features:
Cleaned and whitened skull: The flesh is removed, and the bone is treated to achieve a bright, clean finish.
Attached antlers: The antlers remain intact and are often wrapped during cleaning to preserve their natural color.
Minimalist display: Unlike full shoulder mounts, Euro mounts focus on the skull and antlers, offering a sleek, rustic aesthetic.
What the Service Typically Involves:
1. Preparation - The skull is skinned and fleshed.
2. Cleaning - Boiling or maceration (soaking in water) is used to remove remaining tissue.
3. Whitening - The skull is whitened using hydrogen peroxide (not bleach, which damages bone). Antlers are protected during this process to retain their natural color.
4. Mounting - The finished skull is mounted on a plaque or panel. Options include wood bases or wall hangers
