About the Item

An extraordinary grouping of trophies, each of these 19th century Chamois trophies is mounted on a hand-carved Black Forest plaque. These are full-cap trophies, but some have lost part of the skull over time as chamois skulls are very soft and can easily be damaged if not handled properly. Mounted at the bottom of each plaque is a medal featuring the "Black Madonna of Czestochowa" over the Polish “Order of the White Eagle." The medal given to Polish soldiers who fought in the Battle of Leipzig against Napoleon in 1813. Each trophy is unique. As the plaques are hand carved, the sizes range from 7.5" W x 10"H to 8.5" W x 10.5" H. The total height ranges from 11"H (smallest) to 12.75"H (largest). Twelve currently available. We can work with you to select pieces that work well together, but each one is truly special. Pricing is per trophy. See images with numbering to reference your desired selection (ie PR-Chamois 01).
