Beware All Antler Chandeliers Are Not Made Equal – Lets Compare
Many Makers Of Antler Chandeliers Simply Use Sheet Rock Screws, Antler To Antler Fast Process Methods glue and body putty to join the antlers together or correct second and third grade eaten or broken horns and form the chandelier. Often these fast process builders also putty the wires on top of the horns, or wire internal to wire nutted hidden wiring juctions that do not allow for individual socket replacement.
Many attach a cheap home depot chain to the top horn or wrap several horns with chain along with a tin canopy meant for a simple lighter weight light fixtures. It has been proven that this type of structure will not hold over time because as antlers age they become brittle and less structural. The consequences of this method are unpredictable and dangerous.
Many Makers Of Antler Chandeliers Simply Use Fake Horns resin copies of real antlers using stains to make these fake antlers look real. This widely used cheap method is less labor intensive however will never last like the real antlers. There are many reports of these kinds of chandeliers bursting in to flames from wiring shorts. The consequences of this method are unpredictable and sometimes uninsurable. See Reports On Resin Molding Fire Hazards – http://industrial-adhesives.blogspot.com/2009/12/material-safety-data-sheets-mp-54110.html And http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/docs/icb.topic992785.files/Casting-Resin-MSDS.pdf
Lets Compare To How Our Antler Lighting Is Made.
Candelabra Light Sockets Are Solid Heavy Brass Or Iron UL listed. – decretive Light Sleeves: Can also Be Genuine Wax, Solid Brass, Brushed Steel Or Horn End Butts The light sockets allow up to 60 watt candelabra bulbs, led. The external sleeve and base of each light socket is solid brass and sets on a mounted ball that can be adjusted vertically. This socket size allows for a wide choice of long life bulbs. You may also choose patina steel sleeves or antler ends. Many other sizes and styles of light bulbs and sockets are available. All Meet codes world wide 220 or 115 simply specify when ordering all are UL Certified
Our Patented Steel Structure Keeps You Safe. For each chandelier we construct an internal frame of 3/8″ to 1″diameter steel that is hand forged and hammer struck to shape. This frame strengthens the structure of the chandelier, conceals all wiring inside and also has the mounting point for the steel 900 pound test chain. You can then connect the chain directly to your solid beam or ceiling application. This allows for the weight of the antler chandelier to be on the steel frame not the unstable antler bone structure. This type of frame and hanging application also allows for the use of a (customer supplied) chandelier remote winch that allows you to remotely raise and lower your chandelier for service and maintenance.
All Antlers Offered By SAF Are Natural AA Grade, first quality and gathered from the Great Northwoods immediately after they have been naturally shed (not left through a winter or eaten by rodents then body puttied back to shape). We never use seconds, fake or faux antlers of any kind. We use antlers from the great American North-woods region because the calcium deposits are abundant and results in higher quality more structural antlers.
All Antlers Offered By SAF Are Wired Internally And U.L. Listed. Using a 1/4″ thick steel central wire enclosure that is attached to the steel main structure we secure each antler end individually to this super structure. We then bore through each lighted horn to run our wiring internally. This allows for each light socket and wire to be able to be replaced with little effort. All SAF lighting is hipot tested according to the rigorous rules and guide lines of Underwriters Laboratories. After passing this test they may carry a UL seal of approval. These seals are recognized by building code inspectors the world over.
All Antlers Are Natural Colors – All Iron Parts Are Well Hidden Using Various Colors Of Hand Applied Iron Oxide Patinas. Our beautiful patina finishes are hand applied using a special patented process where oxides are bonded into the metal at over 1000 degrees. This permanent finish beautifies with age. S.A.F. does not paint or faux finish any of our iron creations. Paint fades, chips and cracks over time and patinas last forever. No Drop Forged Casted Copies.

Historical Origin And Design Inspiration
The Fallow Deer (Dama dama) is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Cervidae. The male is a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn. Bucks are 140-160 cm long and 90-100 cm shoulder height, and 60-85 kg in weight; does are 130-150 cm long and 75-85 cm shoulder height, and 30-50 kg in weight. Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm and weigh around 4.5 kg. The life span is around 12-16 years. All of the Fallow deer have white spots on their backs, and black tips at the ends of their tails.
The species is very variable in colour, with four main variants, “common”, “menil”, “melanistic” and “albinistic”. The common form has a brown coat with white mottles that are most pronounced in summer with a much darker coat in the winter. The albinistic is the lightest coloured, almost white; common and menil are darker, and melanistic is very dark, even black (easily confused with the Sika Deer). Most herds consist of the common form but have menil form and melanistic form animals amongst them (the three groups do not stay separate and interbreed readily).
Only bucks have antlers, these are broad and shovel-shaped. They are grazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland. During the rut bucks will spread out and females move between them, at this time of year fallow deer are relatively ungrouped compared to the rest of the year when they try to stay together in groups of up to 150.
