Antlers: Trend or timeless?

Looking at a variety of  recent design sources supports the view that antlers are a huge style statement.    While always part of rustic country design, antlers and antler motifs seem to have crossed all design boundaries to the point where you see them everywhere.  <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOLewb4tAxhg5PRnNqGMJYKRpEA8z4A1469HOpfRL4X1Ml1a5rgjThqI3keP5fHovyyi0hzBHVm_W1C-Xqf3z4CqWs5oUly1IiYLZv1RJ3tnuo8FxILf5_bU5CY7stvjy3bXgeahtk0bQU/s1600/yelloow-goat-+antler-light.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="antlers modern lighting fixture" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOLewb4tAxhg5PRnNqGMJYKRpEA8z4A1469HOpfRL4X1Ml1a5rgjThqI3keP5fHovyyi0hzBHVm_W1C-Xqf3z4CqWs5oUly1IiYLZv1RJ3tnuo8FxILf5_bU5CY7stvjy3bXgeahtk0bQU/s1600/yelloow-goat-+antler-light.jpg" title="Designing Home: Antlers: Trend or timeless?" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Spectacular lighting from <a href="http://www.yellowgoat.com.au/index.php?PCID=966&PSO=55&PSID=Antlers&PSV=Primary&CDO=">Yellow Goat Custom Lighting</a></td></tr></tbody></table>Right now I have reached the saturation point, and whenever I see antlers my reaction is usually utter boredom. Hopefully I will recover  because I love their sculptural  form and representation of  the passage of time and natural cycles.  I draw the line at their trophy history- no mounted heads for me.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXEB7XXYQx8fCQqVzgcOAiEjtss52WTT9ilZM-ZiZtX37_oESWxtYJMyrKIhh5dc_Igh88cenbICHk6DF-PogO6rErumv00PlbFC2TNKBZnjcOOzoRonajaspi7TnrIgZrqy7nP-hzgqw7/s1600/DSCN6146_01.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="antlers in the sun" border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXEB7XXYQx8fCQqVzgcOAiEjtss52WTT9ilZM-ZiZtX37_oESWxtYJMyrKIhh5dc_Igh88cenbICHk6DF-PogO6rErumv00PlbFC2TNKBZnjcOOzoRonajaspi7TnrIgZrqy7nP-hzgqw7/s1600/DSCN6146_01.JPG" title="Designing Home: Antlers: Trend or timeless?" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> Moose antlers aging in the sun<br /><br /><a href="http://designinghome.blogspot.ca/"> source </a></td></tr></tbody></table>Several years ago my friend found a lovely pair of moose antlers in the woods near my summer house and dragged them home for me. They are still weathering to a lovely grayish white. While I was excited initially with this gift, I am reticent to jump on the antler bandwagon.  If I wait long enough the trend will pass, like all trends, and antlers will be new again.  <br /><br />I guess you could say I am very fussy about how they are used in decor.  I think the trick is to mix them with other objects  in simple vignettes  with a natural focus where their sculptural qualities can shine and direct the collected composition. In this  understated way they will always be timeless. So here are my four ways to use antlers for a fresh look.<br /><br /><h4> As a sculptural element</h4><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSZDsF1V8jVTOtZxJk13Kw99n5w1hVxPUFx8IwPqhynx42gstAMXMbl1SbAFT1Pcfl-qWE1NReolQoTcBun1gfldwo6hcuycWDEHs2uOKYxV8vt_PsgX1m-PhBpBy8wUmoNq7DsaIByI5v/s1600/antlers-table-vignette.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="white antlers white table vignette" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSZDsF1V8jVTOtZxJk13Kw99n5w1hVxPUFx8IwPqhynx42gstAMXMbl1SbAFT1Pcfl-qWE1NReolQoTcBun1gfldwo6hcuycWDEHs2uOKYxV8vt_PsgX1m-PhBpBy8wUmoNq7DsaIByI5v/s1600/antlers-table-vignette.JPG" title="Designing Home: Antlers: Trend or timeless?" width="266" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">White on white accentuates antlers sculptural quality</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.inthefunlane.com/2012/11/november-candle-of-month.html">source</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">These antlers are the perfect shape to use with the other elements in this vignette.
