What is a Botanical Stag Head?

A Botanical Stag Head is a modern and floral alternative to traditional taxidermy.

Our stag head wall mounts are made from natural materials with impressively arranged dried flowers in the antlers.

The idea came from wanting to use natural materials to bring the outdoors into the home, and make the most of the materials that were readily available on the farm.

Traditionally real taxidermy stag heads would adorn grand hall walls in homes or country hotels. Faux taxidermy however, is becoming a more and more popular option in homes leaving the real deer in the countryside.

Faux taxidermy is a term used for any object which mimics real taxidermy for decorative purposes.

Our Botanical Stag wall mounts consist of a wooden base, dried moss for the head, pinecones, teasels and of course the star of the show the British homegrown dried flowers and feathers in their majestic antlers.

Our stag head designs vary depending on, size, colour, flower type and feathers. We use pheasant feathers in most of our feathered designs because they have lovely natural tones and are readily available to us on the farm.

Our Botanical Stags have a black mount as standard but we are able to change this so please do get in touch with your preferences. Likewise the floral and colour combinations in the antlers can be handcrafted bespoke for you.
