The Eulenburg Collection comes from the Hohenzollern Royal Family where they resided in the Eulenburg family estate of Liebenberg Castle in Brandenberg, Germany. The Liebenberg circle can be traced to some of Kaiser Wilhelm II’s closest military and cultural advisors and was named after the castle where they frequently met and hunted. This collection is a unique record of the role hunting in political affairs within German society. The grounds in which these hunts took place were situated on one of the Kaiser’s favorite hunting preserves. A fallow deer skull European mount measuring approximately 28 inches high and 23 inches wide mounted on an original Black forest hand carved plaque. The skull is marked with "1892" in black ink and was reportedly taken by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Attached to the front is a Prussian 7th Hussars helmet plate with an emblem of oak leaved with green ribbon mounted below. The plaque is approximately 15 x 12 inches. These trophies have survived traversing the Atlantic, two World Wars and the ravages of time. The Royal Hunt Collection has been assembled over a period of 40 years mostly through the support of the descendants of Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Very good with some separation of the skull bones due to age, mixed color on the brass and mild handling marks overall.
