Care & Custom Options
Keep your antler lighting looking its best, or explore a piece made for your space.
Caring for real antler
Real antler is a natural material and needs very little upkeep. Dust it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth or a can of compressed air to reach between the tines, and keep it away from constant steam or high humidity, such as a shower stall or a stovetop.
With basic care, a real antler chandelier is built to last for decades, and because every antler is a little different, no two of our fixtures are ever exactly alike.
Collection designs & custom commissions
Every design on our site can be ordered as-is, or adjusted for light count, finish, and chain length to fit your space. If you have a specific vision - a particular species, an unusual room shape, or antlers of your own you would like us to build with - our custom antler chandelier design page walks through how that process works.
If you have a specific wiring, safety, or sizing question first, check our FAQ. Browse all of our antler chandeliers to see current designs across our antler species. Or see finished pieces installed in homes and commercial spaces in our projects.
