Hunting Lodges that Inspire

Lodges that inspire more than the Hunt

Be it Fin, Feather or Fur – I think the decor of a hunting lodge should be as inspiring as the hunt!

Do you want to remember that famous ‘quail double’ you shot on a beautiful crisp day?  Well, just add one more to the board.   The panel shows off the painting and quail by framing them with ornate oak leaves & acorns – Old World Style.
