Late 19th/Early 20th Century German Grouse Hunt Plaque

About the Item

A striking blend of naturalism and ceremony, this late 19th to early 20th century German hunting trophy features a life-size grouse, cast in full dimension and silver-plated to gleam with quiet dignity. The bird hangs upside down by its feet, suspended from a silver-plated string and knob, just as it might have been carried home from the field. Mounted on an oval walnut plaque with an ebonized edge, it calls to mind the deep woods, the crack of a shotgun, and the rituals of the hunt. In the grand tradition of European hunting lodges, such trophies weren’t just displays of sport—they were tributes to nature, moments frozen in time, and emblems of a gentleman’s life lived close to the land. Silver-plated examples like this were rare then and rarer now—elevated from mere game to something sculptural, storied, and quietly proud. A haunting, beautiful piece with real presence.
