Imperial Taxidermy

Imperial Taxidermy works on North American big game, birds, exotics, and other trophy game, with noted strength in bird and big game work.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, and bird mounts with poses tailored to your preferences.

The team brings over 65 years of combined experience, led by owner and head taxidermist Nathan Denardi, who has more than 17 years at the studio and regional and national recognition for his work, alongside master bird taxidermist Steve Eccard.

Reviews consistently describe their mounts as highly realistic and museum-quality, with strong attention to detail and natural poses, though a few customers report serious issues on isolated pieces and advise caution on subcontracted fish work.

Imperial Taxidermy does not publish price lists and encourages you to contact the studio directly for pricing, with reviews generally calling rates fair, reasonable, and worth the quality, alongside a few negative comments about fish work value.

They emphasize having one of the fastest turnaround times in the industry, and most reviewers say work is completed within the quoted timeframe or in a timely manner, though there are some reports of projects, especially birds and a bear, taking over a year with frustrating delays.

The studio offers detailed field-care and caping guidance, in-person tips or demonstrations, an impressive showroom experience, and assistance with Port of Entry customs clearing for worldwide hunts.
