A Sculptural Transformation

​Your hunted skull and horns evolves from raw mount into gallery worthy art. The metal luster highlights contours and textures, turning a memory of the hunt into a sophisticated centerpiece. It is tough enough for everyday display yet refined enough to stand alone as modern decor.

 Electroplating
Process

​Electroplating is a masterful artistry where actual Copper or Nickel, sourced as 99.99% pure metal is precisely transferred onto the trophies bone or horn structure. Immersed in a specialized electrolyte solution, the trophy becomes the canvas (cathode), while an electric current draws ions from the dissolved metal (anode) directly onto its surface. This unique method ensures a seamless bond, layer by microscopic layer, yielding genuine metal enrichment that far surpasses mere coatings in depth and authenticity.

Our Signature Finishes

We specialize exclusively in two noble finishes, each harnessing the inherent virtues of its true metal for unparalleled elegance:

 

Pure Copper:

Authentic copper imparts a warm, living patina reminiscent of ancient relics, rich in tone, naturally antimicrobial, and developing a subtle Verdigris allure over time that whispers of enduring legacy.

Pure Nickel:

Genuine nickel delivers a crisp, mirror like sheen with silvery sophistication, exceptionally hard, corrosion resistant, and polished to jewel like clarity, safeguarding fine details against the elements.

Polishing Process

This key step is where the metal really comes to life.

Our skilled team uses specialized compounds and buffing techniques on the genuine layer that is now bonded to the bone or horn. Bit by bit, any small marks fade away, leaving a clear, reflective finish that catches the light just right while keeping the trophies natural shape intact.

Mounting Design

Our skull mounts are crafted for a clean, unobtrusive presence, designed to be as invisible as possible while providing rock solid support. Made from steel ranging from 3mm to 10mm thick (tailored to the species and weight), each one is precision laser-cut and milled for both refined aesthetics and unbeatable durability.

These mounts blend seamlessly into your trophy, letting the electroplated skull or antler take center stage. The varying thickness ensures optimal balance—thinner profiles (3-5mm) for lighter game like impala, scaling up to 10mm for heavier beasts like kudu—without bulky brackets or visible hardware.
