Historical Origin And Design Inspiration

The moose (North America) or elk (Europe), Alces alces, is the largest extant species in the deer family. Moose are distinguished by the palmate antlers of the males; other members of the family have antlers with a "twig-like" configuration. The animal bearing the scientific name Alces alces is known in Europe as elk and in North America as moose. The name elk is connected with several earlier European variants-¯Latin: alces, Old Norse: elgr, Scandinavian: elg, and German: Elch ¯all of which refer to this animal.


Confusingly, the word elk in North America refers to the second largest deer species, Cervus canadensis, also known as the wapiti. Early European explorers in North America, who were familiar with the closely related but smaller red deer of Central and Western Europe, believed that the much larger North American animal looked more like the European elk (i.e. moose), so they named it elk. The word moose is derived from the Algonquian Eastern Abnaki name moz, which loosely translates to "twig eater".


Antlers A full grown bull from British Columbia with early (May) antlers The male's antlers grow as cylindrical beams projecting on each side of the head at right angles to the midline of the skull, and then fork. The lower prong of this fork may be either simple, or divided into two or three tines, with some flattening. In the North Siberian elk (A. a. bedfordiae), the posterior division of the main fork divides into three tines, with no distinct flattening. In the common elk (A. a. alces) this branch usually expands into a broad palmation, with one large tine at the base, and a number of smaller snags on the free border. There is, however, a Scandinavian breed of the common elk in which the antlers are simpler, and recall those of the East Siberian animals. The palmation appears to be more marked in North American moose (Alces alces americanus) than in the typical Scandinavian elk.


The male will drop its antlers after the mating season and conserve energy for the winter. A new set of antlers will then regrow in the spring. Antlers take three to five months to fully develop, making them one of the fastest growing animal organs. They initially have a layer of skin called felt which is shed once the antlers become fully grown. Immature bulls may not shed their antlers for the winter, but retain them until the following spring.


If a bull moose is castrated, either by accidental or chemical means, he will quickly shed his current set of antlers and then immediately begin to grow a new set of misshapen and deformed antlers that he will wear the rest of his life without ever shedding again. The distinctive looking appendages (often referred to as "devil's antlers") are the source of several myths and legends among many groups of Inuit as well as several other tribes of indigenous peoples of North America.


Most Designs Used Today Were Conceived Hundreds Of Years Ago By Some Of The Worlds Most Famous Architects And Designers Working For The Aristocracies And The Well To Do Of Their Period.
Many of these architects and designers are as well known as Leonardo da Vinci (renaissance architecture) or Michelangelo,s (baroque architecture) as well as more recently William Morris, John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement in America circa 1900.) Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene to name a few.

All Lamps Utilize Many Of The Same Features As Our World Class Chandeliers

Candelabra Light Sockets Are Solid Brass - Light Sleeves: Can Be Genuine Wax, Solid Brass, Brushed Steel Or Horn End Butts The light sockets allow up to 60 watt candelabra bulbs. 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 specifiy when ordering all are U. L. Certified


The 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 Northwoods 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 steel central wire enclosure that is attached to the steel main structure we secure each antler end. We then bore through each lighted horn to run our wiring internally. 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 Steel Is 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. No Paint Or Powder Coated Finishes. limited edition or original works. Every surface of this furnishing is finely finished including the undersides and hidden areas.

All Antler Chandeliers Are Not Made Equal - Lets Compare

Many Makers Of Antler Chandeliers Simply Use Sheet Rock Screws, glue and body putty to join the antlers together and form the chandelier. They then attach a chain to the top horn or wrap several horns with chain usually with a Home Depot chain and canopy meant for a simple lighter weight light fixture. 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 Body Putty and stain to hide the wiring on top of the horns. This widely used method is less labor intensive however unsightly if looking from above. Also this method over time will usually come apart and the wires will become exposed. The consequences of this method are unpredictable and sometimes uninsurable.
