Texas Longhorn Mounted Steer Horns

This is a wall-mounted set of authentic bovine longhorn steer horns, commonly associated with Western or Southwestern decor. The horns exhibit a classic outward and upward curvature, tapering to sharp tips. In terms of construction, the two horns are joined by a central block, which has been covered in a decorative leather wrap. This wrap features a tri-color scheme: a central burgundy or deep wine-red leather section flanked by black leather collars on each side. The joints where the leather meets are trimmed with what appears to be braided rawhide or decorative rope accenting, secured with metallic upholstery tacks or studs. The horns themselves display a natural color gradient, transitioning from cream and off-white at the bases to darker grey or charcoal tones towards the points. Physically, the item appears to be of substantial width, likely exceeding 40 inches tip-to-tip. The condition shows moderate aging; the horn surfaces have a matte, weathered patina with visible natural grooves and minor surface striations consistent with organic growth. There is some slight fraying visible on the braided trim and minor dust accumulation, but no major structural cracks or splintering are evident in the photograph. This style of taxidermy mounting was popularized in the mid-to-late 20th century as a staple of Americana and rustice lodge-style interior design.
