From the veld to your wall.

Trophy taxidermy by André and Edmund Rheeder — shoulder mounts, full mounts, skulls and tanned skins, for local hunters and international clients. Every animal is tagged and booked in the day it arrives, and that number stays with it until you hang it.

Departments

Four benches, one number.

Your trophy is routed to the bench its mount calls for, and its tag follows it through the workshop — so we can tell you where it stands, any day you ask.

Flat skins

Tanning

Skins tanned soft for the floor or the wall. Tanning is payable in full when the skin is handed in.

Trophies

Mounting

Shoulder mounts, front-half and pedestal mounts, full mounts — posed left, right or straight, as you took it.

Skulls

European mounts

Clean European mounts, on a shield or without one.

Dip & pack

Export

Trophies prepared and packed for export — for international hunters shipping home or to their own taxidermist.

The process

From hand-in to hand-over.

01

Hand in Tagged & booked

Bring the trophy to the studio in La Hoff. Each animal is tagged and booked in with its own number, married to it for good.

02

Deposit 50% to start

A 50% deposit is payable before mounting begins — preparation work carries on in the meantime. Flat skins are payable in full before tanning.

03

The bench 7–9 months

Your trophy works through its department. The waiting period is 7–9 months after the deposit is paid — good work will not be hurried.

04

Collect Paid in full

Settle the balance, sign it out, hang it up. Completed work is released once the account is paid in full.

Important — In the field

The mount is made in the first hour.

What you do at the shot decides what we can do at the bench. Four things, straight from our terms:

  1. Remove the blood from the hide as soon as possible after the animal has been shot.
  2. Remove the intestines quickly, opening as near to the hind legs as possible.
  3. Once the mask has been skinned — and only if you know how; if not, leave it for us — wash it thoroughly with clean water and soap, then rub it well with salt, inside and out. The ears matter most.
  4. Fill the eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth with salt, and bring it to the studio as soon as you can.

Unsure about the skinning? Phone first — a fee for slaughtering the mask is cheaper than a ruined cape.
