ANTLER QUALITY & PRICING

Antlers are bought and sold by the pound and by the grade. Grade refers to the age of the antler (which is the amount of time it was lying on the ground after being shed). Antlers are classified as Grade 1, 2, or 3.

Grade 1 antlers are the ones most recently shed. They still have a hard, shiny surface with no surface cracking. Grade 2 antlers are a little older and have developed some surface cracks on the side that was exposed to the sun. Grade 3 antlers are the oldest with surface cracking on both sides of the antler.

We offer the same beautiful, strong, and symmetrical designs in the Grade 3 antlers as we offer in Grades 1 and 2. We DO NOT use really old antlers that may be cracked all the way through, so our Grade 3 designs are every bit as strong as our Grade 1 and 2 designs. We don’t use any antlers with broken tips or rodent holes.

It is important to note that some antler art companies use only Grade 3 antlers.

Antler Pricing — At Horns-A-Plenty we think it is only fair to base your price on what the antlers actually cost us.

Grade 1 antlers are more difficult to find than grades 2 or 3, therefore, they are the most expensive antler to buy. Grade 2 antlers are more plentiful and easier to find, so their price is lower. Grade 3 antlers are even more abundant, so they are the least expensive.

Prices listed in the catalog are for Grade 2 antlers as we have found that we can create very high-quality antler art with these antlers at a more reasonable price. Grade 1 antlers are an additional 20 percent on any design. Grade 3 antlers are available on any design using mule deer antlers and are 20 percent less.

Antler Color — At Horns-A-Plenty, we use a special antler stain on all designs to re-create the "natural brown" look of pre-shed antlers. (We can also leave the antlers natural bleached white upon request.) The stain creates fairly even coloration depending on how each antler takes the stain, but most often we strive to re-create the "natural brown" look as closely as possible. Often, even experienced antler people can’t tell the difference between stained and natural! We use the same special antler stain to return the Grade 3 antlers to a "natural brown" that we use on Grade 2 antlers. We also take special care to sand and seal the antlers to bring back a beautiful surface texture. You will still notice some cracking.

General Information

• Chandeliers & Sconces are UL Approved! — You can be sure your fixture is safe because all directly wired fixtures by D Bar X Lighting and Horns~A~Plenty Antler Art are approved by Underwriter’s Laboratories to meet their standards for electrical safety. That means we must not only use lighting parts that are manufactured to UL standards, but each finished piece must also conform to their standard. Each piece must pass a di-electric test in which we run 1,200 volts through the wiring to make sure there are no short circuits and UL inspectors randomly visit our workshop to inspect our methods and records. We provide a packet that includes a canopy, mounting hardware, our UL number, and our address and phone number.
  

• Custom Options! — We are happy to make custom designs! We can customize most of our standard designs, or we can work with you to create something entirely new!
  

• You Specify Chain Length! — If not otherwise indicated, chandeliers come with 6 ft. of chain and 7 ft. of wire. We’ll ask you for the length when you place an order.
  

• Lightbulb Options — Most of our chandeliers feature candelabra-style light sockets (small bases) for which you can buy a variety of wattages up to a maximum of 60 watts. Large Edison-style light sockets (standard bases) are available on larger chandeliers. The style and max. wattages are listed with each item.
