Taxidermy Stags Head By Spicer
Taxidermy Stags Head By Spicer
Vintage Taxidermy Stags Head by Peter Spicer.
A good shoulder mount of a Red Deer. The head is with 10 point antler and set looking slightly to his left. The taxidermy head is mounted onto a shaped polished oak shield with ivorine plaque 'Graythwaite Hall, Killed by G.O. Sandys, October 19th 1920, Bleaberry Fell, Weight 23st. 7Lbs'. This is a wonderful example of Spicers art. Monarch of the Glen comes to mind.
The previous owner, Mr Peter Fowler always said, if something he purchased that seemed expensive, 'Try and find another'.
The Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), or Red Stag, is one of the largest deer species that inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in north-western Africa. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated mammal still existing in the Netherlandss, United Kingdom and Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa. Only the stags have antlers, which are made of bone and grow at a rate of 2 ½ cm (1inch) a day. The antlers start growing in the spring and are shed each year, usually at the end of winter.
