Choosing the perfect antler lighting for your log home or cabin isn't as easy as it seems. With so many choices in today's market it's tough to know what you are getting. We are here to help you decipher the different styles, materials and finishes available.
Real Antler Chandeliers
Technology is a wonderful thing and now it's very difficult to tell real antlers from reproduction antlers. Real antler chandeliers are very pricey and come with very unique attributes that differ from one antler chandelier to the next. When buying a real antler chandelier online be sure that the image you see is the actual product that you will receive. Many times websites will put the same generic photo on their site and the actual product you get may or may not look anything like the image online. Most real antler chandeliers are made from sheds from the animals when the drop their antlers. This is painless for the animal and you get a unique antler chandelier at a price.
Reproduction Antler Chandeliers
The next and most economical option is to buy a reproduction antler chandelier. Faux antler chandeliers are cast from a set of antlers and each chandelier will look the same as the image on the website. Reproduction antler chandeliers are much lighter than real antler chandeliers and come in various shades of stain. Today's reproduction antler chandeliers look so real you'll never know the difference.
Consider This When Buying Antler Lighting
1. The size of room the antler chandelier will go in.
2. The length of chain you will need for the antler chandelier.
3. The width of some antler chandeliers make it tricky to fit through a regular door.
4. Most antler chandelier chains come in antique brass, black or polished brass finish.
5. It may be difficult for delivery in some remote locations if your antler chandelier ships via motor freight, so be sure to check with your retailer if you live in the boonies.
Elk Antler Chandeliers
If it's an authentic western look and feel you're after then elk antler chandeliers are the ticket. These beautifully crafted chandeliers are usually made with 18 antlers, 9 antlers or 6 antlers.
Moose Antler Chandeliers
If you're going for more of a northwest look and feel then the moose antler chandelier is sure to please. Moose antler chandeliers are usually made with 4 or 6 moose antlers.
Deer Antler Chandeliers
This favorite old standby hangs in more log homes than you can count. Nothing screams rustic like a large whitetail antler chandelier hanging from your ceiling. Deer antler chandeliers vary in size from 3 antlers all the way up to 76 antlers!
Deciding between real or reproduction antler lighting is not an easy choice. Carefully assess your lighting requirements and what you want in your antler chandelier. No matter what style, size or shape of antler chandelier you choose it's important to remember that living the rustic lifestyle is all about comfort and feeling "at home" when you walk in the door.
