This and many other impressive mounts were liquidated some time ago by members of the Hohenzollern royal family, the pieces originating from the Eulenburg family estate of Liebenberg Castle in Brandenburg, one of Kaiser Wilhelm's favorite hunting preserves. The mount is quite attractive and of course in European style remaining in near excellent condition showing a pleasant rich patina along the skull and polished tips of the rack, the rugged bark a dark brown tone. A fine blackened bronze Imperial German coat of arms is nailed to the skull and shows some mild tarnishing and verdigris forming. The span is about 27 1/2'' with a height of about 29''. The mount is affixed via a steel bracket on the back with a pair of screws and is currently somewhat loose and the back also shows a paper tag numbered ''13'' and what appears to be a label of the craftsman who did the work, this showing some light flaking. The carved base appears to be dark stained maple or oak and is in lovely form featuring bold carved oak leaves, branches and acorns with riband along bottom with contrasting inlaid wood in fancy script ''Eulenburg / 1892''. The base rates very fine showing one small chip along the edge of the right branch, some scuffs and light handling marks. The base measures about 30 1/2'' high by 18'' wide. A very fine, attractive and historic mount from the German Royal Family holdings. [Extra Shipping Will Apply, Pick-up Recommended] (13C11108-131) [Tom Devers Collection] (4000/6000)
