Taxidermy

Taxidermy is not merely a technical process – it is a fusion of artistry, precision, and deep respect for nature. Every mount we create is the result of dozens of hours of careful craftsmanship, where we focus on every detail – from anatomical accuracy to lifelike expression. Our experience and skill ensure that each piece is more than just a faithful replica – it is an authentic memory of a unique moment.

Blending Tradition with Modern Technology

We build on proven taxidermy techniques while incorporating the latest materials and technologies. We work with anatomically accurate forms, premium-quality glass eyes, and specialized components that ensure a natural appearance and long-lasting durability. Every specimen is meticulously preserved to maintain its look for decades to come.

Choosing the Type of Mount

Before the actual work begins, it’s important for the client to choose their preferred type of mount. We offer full-body mounts, shoulder mounts, and variations including the front quarter (shoulder with brisket). You can also specify the direction the mount should face and request a particular pose – such as two males in combat, a predator with prey, or another dynamic scene. These details must be clearly defined when placing the order to ensure the final result matches expectations.

Tailored to Your Vision

Every mount tells a story – that’s why we offer extensive customization options. From hand-carved backboards to scenic compositions depicting animals in their natural habitat, we approach every piece with a commitment to perfect execution, whether it’s a simple trophy or a complex work of art.

All Types of Game Taxidermy

We specialize in the preparation of mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. Our expertise covers both European and exotic species. Thanks to our long-standing cooperation with museums and zoological institutions, we have extensive experience in reconstructing rare and unique specimens.

Focus on Detail and Longevity

Each mount undergoes a rigorous final inspection. We ensure anatomical precision, realistic texture of fur or feathers, and a natural posture. Only top-tier materials from trusted suppliers in Europe and the USA are used. For non-standard trophies, we design and sculpt custom forms tailored to each animal.

Our goal is to create mounts that are not just a reminder of a hunt – but a lasting tribute to expert craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

Other products

Beyond taxidermy, we offer a wide range of additional products that combine the beauty of natural materials, expert craftsmanship, and rich hunting tradition. We create unique accessories, decorations, and exclusive items that appeal not only to hunters but to anyone who appreciates precise craftsmanship and original design.

Exotic Leather Goods

The natural texture and unique character of exotic leathers make them an exceptionally attractive material. We offer handcrafted products made from elephant, rhinoceros, crocodile, kudu, zebra, or ostrich leather. Among our most popular items are luxury belts, knife sheaths, travel bags, shooting boot guards, and exclusive women’s handbags.

Hunting Gear and Accessories

Functionality meets tradition in our handcrafted hunting accessories. We produce intricately carved backboards for trophies, stylish satchels, and practical hunting bags. Each piece is crafted with attention to detail, durability, and longevity – perfect for the field as well as for display.

Exclusive Collectible Items

For collectors and art lovers, we create unique trophy replicas, artistic taxidermy pieces, and stylized wildlife scenes. Each item is carefully designed to capture the beauty of nature and the intensity of the moment. These are exceptional pieces that enrich any interior and carry true collector’s value.

Our work doesn’t end with taxidermy. Every product that passes through our hands is the result of honest craftsmanship, respect for nature, and a passion for detail.

Custom projects

Taxidermy is more than preserving a unique animal – it’s an art form that tells a story. For those seeking more than a standalone trophy, we offer the creation of dioramas and large-scale installations for hunting interiors, museums, and prestigious spaces.

Dioramas and Naturalistic Displays

We create unique scenes where animals are placed in environments reflecting their natural habitats. Hunters can relive a memorable experience through a realistic display where fauna, flora, and precise taxidermy come together. From the African savannah to European forests – each diorama tells its own story.

Large-Scale Installations for Museums and Exhibitions

We collaborate with museums and institutions to create scientifically accurate reconstructions of natural scenes. Our installations can be both static and interactive, designed to bring the fascinating world of wildlife closer to the public. Detailed environmental modeling, lifelike animal poses, and authentic materials ensure that each scene feels alive.

Exclusive Hunting Interiors

Want your hunting room or lodge to reflect the stories of your journeys and adventures? We design and realize bespoke interiors that combine taxidermy, natural materials, and luxurious design. We create cohesive, tailor-made environments where trophies become an organic part of the space – not just a display, but a striking centerpiece with meaning.

Each project is fully customized according to the client’s vision. If you have an idea for a hunting interior, museum exhibit, or extraordinary installation, don’t hesitate to contact us – we’ll be happy to bring it to life.

For taxidermists

Material for taxidermist

In addition to working on our own mounts, we’re also here to support fellow taxidermists. If you’re in the trade and looking for a reliable supplier of quality materials, we’ve got you covered.

We supply:

  • Forms for most European and exotic game species
  • Bases and panels for mounts and skulls
  • Eyes, ears, jaws, and other detailed components
  • Additional taxidermy supplies (artificial rocks, adhesives, paints, polyurethane, etc.)

We don’t run an e-shop, but we’re happy to price anything on request. Just send us a message or give us a call, and we’ll prepare a current offer tailored to your focus and needs.

Tanning Services for Taxidermy Studios

We also offer professional tanning services for taxidermy workshops—both dry and wet tanning. Whether you need hides ready for mounting or long-term storage, we guarantee quality processing and reliable results. All tanning is handled by our trusted partners and skilled professionals in Poland.

We take care of the transport—just get in touch with your specific request.

Estimated turnaround times:

  • Wet tanning: approximately 6 weeks
  • Dry tanning: around 3 months

We’ll gladly send you a price list on request.

Import of trophies from non-EU countries

We provide our clients with a complete service for importing trophies from countries outside the European Union. Our team takes care of all export and import formalities, including CITES documentation.

Upon request, we can also handle the process for other taxidermists who may not have experience with trophy imports, or for clients who choose to have their trophies prepared outside our studio.

Import Conditions

The total import cost consists of the following:
– transportation
– customs clearance
– a flat fee of 300 EUR per shipment (regardless of the number of trophies)

When collecting the shipment, it is necessary to present the taxidermist’s certification – a veterinary registration certificate (known as CZtko).

Upon delivery, the client simply checks that the shipment matches the expected number and type of trophies and signs the prepared handover form.
