Mistakenly posted this in off topic the other day and got no traction. Trying again here.
Looking for a recommendation for a taxidermist who does restorations.
I inherited three mounts and two sets of antlers from my Grandfather. They are currently hanging in a spot that is pretty inaccessible and have been for 35 years. We will be taking them down soon and I need to figure out what to do with them. At best they will need a through cleaning, at worst they will need restoration. They can't even really be dusted where they are now so I expect them to be pretty grimy when we get them down. I don't know if there is any damage, but I am hoping that due to their location and the lack of people being able to touch them over the years they may be OK.
As you can imagine, these mounts have a lot of sentimental value to me. I'm not as worried about making them look perfect as I am making sure they are stabilized to last as long as possible.
Looking for someone on the north shore of MA or in southern NH or ME. Any recommendations are appreciated!
