Got Antlers?

Use your antlers to create a one-of-a-kind chandelier. Many clients bring us antlers they’ve collected over a lifetime — hunted, found as natural sheds, or passed down as a family heirloom — and want them turned into something special. The sentimental value and memories are incorporated into an heirloom-quality antler lighting design. Prefer to start from a finished design? Browse our antler chandeliers.

Call or email for more information.

For the difference between the naturally shed antlers we purchase and customer-supplied collections, read our antler sourcing guide.

How It Works: From Your Antlers to a Finished Chandelier

Every Use Your Antlers project follows the same seven steps:

Contact us. Call or email to tell us what you have in mind: the room, the look you want, and any design from our collection you like.
Send us photos of your antler collection. Lay your antlers out and photograph them so we can see their size, their condition and how many you have. A tape measure in a shot or two helps, and so do the room’s dimensions.
Receive your quote. We’ll recommend a design and size using our antler chandelier size guide and tell you whether your antlers are enough on their own or need antlers added from our stock. You’ll get a written quote, usually within 2–4 days.
Place your deposit and ship us your antlers. Once you approve your quote, a 50% deposit reserves your build. Then pack up your antlers and send them to our workshop. We’ll let you know when they arrive.
See mock-up photos along the way. As your chandelier takes shape, we send you photos so you can see the layout and give feedback before it’s finished.
Pay the balance and freight. When your chandelier is complete, hand-wired and UL certified, we’ll send final photos and an invoice for the remaining 50% balance plus freight. See our FAQ for wiring and certification details.
Receive your chandelier in a custom crate. Every fixture is packed in a crate built for it and shipped to your door.

For more on comparing antler species, sizing, and care, see our antler chandelier guides.

See Use Your Antlers builds in real homes: a rectangular chandelier made from a family’s sheds and hung from their heirloom yoke, and a six-tier whitetail built from a customer’s own antler, with antler from our stock added at his request. Browse all projects.

Starting from scratch instead of using your own antlers? Our custom antler chandelier design page walks through that process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process for requesting a custom design for an antler chandelier or lighting fixture?

Our custom design process begins with your vision. You can reach out to us via email or phone to discuss your ideas and requirements for your unique antler chandelier or lighting fixture. Our team of experienced designers will work closely with you to understand your aesthetic preferences, space requirements, and any specific design elements you have in mind. Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, we’ll provide you with a detailed proposal outlining the design concept, materials, dimensions, and estimated cost.

Can I submit my own design ideas or sketches for a custom antler chandelier?

Inspiration pictures, sketches or designs are welcome and helpful when working on a custom piece.

How long does it typically take to receive a quote for a custom design?

We can usually provide a quote within 2-4 days.

What types of antlers are available for custom designs?

I work with all antlers and have also used pronghorns and full mounts in custom pieces. I only need to have large enough antlers for wiring and enough antlers to provide symmetry.

Can I choose the size and dimensions of my custom antler chandelier?

You can choose the dimensions and size of your custom piece. We can sometimes be limited by the size and amount of antlers since we are working with natural antlers. I can supplement your antlers with antlers from my stock for an additional charge if needed to achieve the style and size you want.
