The roots of moose decor are the same as the roots of taxidermy, which is the art of reproducing or mounting animals for display purposes. With demands for better quality of leather and hides growing, the sophistication of tannery methods rapidly evolved in the 1700s. During the 1800s, hunters would often bring their prized acquisitions into upholstery shops, where the skins would be sewn up and crudely stuffed with rags and cotton.

The methods of taxidermy in use today began their evolution in the early 20th century. At that time, taxidermists began to focus on learning proper animal anatomy to enable the reproduction of lifelike poses for realistic animals. Moose decor makes use of such animal trophies to give a room an air of accomplishment and success in the realm of man's battle with the harsher parts of nature.

Though often associated with rustic cabins, the sensibility of moose decor is no longer preferred solely by those who live in a hunting culture. Many people may choose to display animal trophies in appreciation for the beauty of animal design or for interests in the science of taxidermy. Because people don't hunt as often as they used to, animal specimens created for display also fall into the niche of antiques.
