The Story Behind the Eugene Moose Wall Mount

Eugene began in a storybook. Artist Jessica Hiemstra wrote Eric and Eloise, a tale of unlikely friendship between a fox and a hare. The Eric + Eloise Collection launched in 2017 as a holiday offering. It has grown into a year-round series with a whole cast of characters. Eugene is the stately moose who anchors the woodland crew, highly respected in the animal kingdom. As Eric and Eloise decor, Eugene carries a piece of that story into your home. Each piece is Jessica Hiemstra wall art with its own character.

A Statesman in Cast Aluminum

The moose is the largest member of the deer family, and Eugene wears that size with grace. Moose heads have long hung in lodges and cabins across northern forests. This Eugene moose wall mount borrows that tradition and adds a monocle. He looks like a retired statesman. As moose wall decor, he is a true statement piece for a high wall. Fans of animal art will find him unforgettable. His wit makes this Jessica Hiemstra wall art hard to ignore.

The Woodland Crew Beside the Eugene Moose Wall Mount

Eugene keeps good company in this cast of Eric and Eloise decor. Frankie is a pipe-smoking buck. Charlie is an aviator duck. Beatrice is a bear in round glasses. Emerson is a top-hatted pheasant. Margie is a scarf-adorned doe. Louie is a bow-tied mouse. Avery is a pheasant in a fascinator. Eloise is a bespeckled fox. Eric is a mustached hare in a monocle. The collection celebrates friendship across differences. A quirky woodland crew finds belonging in one another. Each character has its own accessory and its own personality, so the cast invites collecting.

Hanging Your Eugene Moose Wall Mount

This Eugene moose wall mount weighs 90 lb. A cutout in the back hangs on the metal cleat, which is included for anchoring onto the wall. Fasten the cleat into wall studs, and ask a helper to lift him into place. Give him a wall at least 4 ft wide for his antlers. Dust the moose wall decor with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the finish. Jessica Hiemstra wall art like this hangs well in any room. Eric and Eloise decor mixes easily with both vintage and modern pieces.
