What is the difference between the real antlers and the cast antlers?
A. Cast antler chandeliers are generally made of a resin and are therefore very light. If you lifted up a cast chandelier and a real chandelier, the first difference you would notice is the weight. Real antlers are much heavier and sturdier than cast antlers. The other difference you will notice is the shape of the antlers. In most cast chandeliers, the antlers will all look the same and the burr or bottom of the antler will look a little flatter than real antlers. The real antlers will each have their own character, color, and shape which truly make them artistic and original. Each burr of real antlers has a different shape. Some are very rounded and others are flatter. Each antler is as individual as a fingerprint and when put together properly, make a truly beautiful work of art. Since many cast antler companies sell online and in catalogs, we recommend to most people who are considering a cast chandelier to go look at one in person to make sure that is something you will be happy w
