If you have a home or cottage with a rustic décor you might be considering a deer antler chandelier. There are several retailers online that carry antler chandeliers for sale. Some of the styles are actually more unique and modern in appearance then rustic looking. The style of the chandelier depends on the type of antler used in the design.
Oak Tree Enterprises is an online retailer of antler chandeliers. They offer several different styles such as "The Big Tweed" which is a two-tiered round chandelier made of 6 point elk antlers. The chandelier is designed to hold up to either 21 candles or 21 "up" lights and 4 "down" lights of 60 watts each. The chandelier's base also contains a combination of rawhide and mica in its composition. The chandelier retails for $9,000. They also carry several other designs of antler chandeliers ranging in price from $6,000 - $830.
Obviously, the larger and more intricately designed the chandelier is, the more expensive it will be. A single tier chandelier will cost less than a 2 or 3 tiered one. The number of lights will also affect the price. The more lights the chandelier has the more the price will be. A 21 light chandelier is going to cost more than a 9 light chandelier. If there are other materials incorporated into the design it may also cost more than one that is solely constructed from the antlers themselves.
You also have the option of buying pre-made deer antler chandelier or having one made from antlers you have. Some people who already go deer hunting will use the antlers from the deer they shot in the construction of the chandelier. This may or may not be more cost effective, depending on the type of chandelier you want designed. Generally companies that use real antlers in the construction of their chandeliers use antlers that have been shed naturally by the animal.
Another route to go in looking for an antler chandelier is to search on auction sites on the Internet. In addition to people selling items that they have many companies will post items up for auction as a way of bringing new business to their site. Often you can pick up high quality products from retail outlets at a more reduced price this way. The disadvantage to purchasing from an online auction is the inability to see the item up close.
Whichever way you choose to purchase your antler chandelier the best way to make sure you get your money's worth is to make sure it fits with your room. There's no point in picking up a great deal on something if it turns out to be an eyesore instead of an enhancement.
