Description

As far back as the 15th century, antler chandeliers have been found in the castles and manors of European kings, that acted as a statement of both wealth and hunting prowess. Their natural look displayed a type of beauty that was unique from the shiny statements of gold and was designed as more than just functional products but as art pieces. Continuing into the 19th century, antler furniture started to be produced solely for the wealthy. European nobility decorated both homes and hunting cabins with antler decor. Today, pieces can be found in museums in London, Italy, and Austria. (Courtesy of www.peakantlers.com)
