Fine Eight-Point Red Stag Cap Mount from the Kaiser Wilhelm II Collection, Taken at Favorite Park

Part of the Kaiser Wilhelm II – Jagdschloss Favorite Park Collection from Favorite Castle, Ludwigsburg, Germany. The trophies are primarily from three of the Kaiser’s hunting lodges (jagdschloss) in Germany. The mount is marked with the royal cypher of King William II of Württemberg. William II was King of Württemberg from 6 October 1891 until the abolition of the kingdom on 30 November 1918. He was the son of Prince Frederick of Württemberg (1808–1870) and his wife Princess Catherine Frederica of Württemberg (1821–1898), daughter of King William I of Württemberg (1781–1864); his parents were first cousins. In 1870 Württemberg took the side of Prussia in the Franco-German War. In 1871 Württemberg became a state of the German Reich, a significant limitation on its sovereignty. Despite living in a landlocked kingdom, William II was a ship enthusiast. The king was instrumental in the establishment of the Württembergischer Yacht Club (formerly "Königlich Württembergischer Yacht-Club" or Royal Yacht Club of Württemberg) in 1911 on Lake Constance. King William became a Generalfeldmarschall during World War I. In 1918, he was deposed from the throne along with the other German rulers. Considered to be a popular monarch, he had the habit of walking his two dogs in public parks in Stuttgart without bodyguards or the like, being greeted by his subjects with a simple Herr König ("Mister King"). William finally abdicated on 30 November 1918. Measuring approximately 25 inches tall and 32 3/4 inches wide, this cap mount is ink marked with a royal cipher between the antlers with "Favorite-Park" and "2. Dezbr./1901" (2 December 1901) beneath it.

ConditionExcellent with some light handling marks overall. The plaque is a later addition with fine detail in the carving.
