Here are some photos of a pair of deer hoof candle holders I finished and shot today. The deer was harvested by a hunter who is using all the venison and passed the hide onto be soft tanned to make a rug. The legs are a nice by product I was happy to collect. I will be listing these on my etsy page shortly so if they strike your fancy, claim them!
The bases and candle cups are from an antique silver set; this design is a diversion from previous candle holders in which the hooves themselves served as the base and allows the foot to point in a more elongated ans elegant fashion.
Spooky angle shot:
The hoof keratin has been polished and poled to bring out its natural luster:
Do I sound like an infomercial? I apologise, I swear my passion for
this piece is genuine. They're also taller than any of my other candle
holders sets which makes them ideal for a more formal table setting.
