For your consideration is this is this beautiful, hand crafted Elk antler & cast bronze chandelier made by renowned and famous artist Peter M. Fillerup (1953-2016). Peter M. Fillerup (September 4, 1953 – August 2016) was an American sculptor, artist, and designer based in Wyoming, known for his Western-themed bronze sculptures, heroic monuments, and custom lighting bronze fittings. Throughout his 40-year career, he shifted his focus from bronze sculpture to creating artistic chandeliers that fused original bronze artwork sculpture castings, handcrafted stained glass, and often natural elements (e.g., elk antlers, rawhide, beaver-chewed branches), as well as narrative motifs inspired by frontier history, mountain life, and Native American life. He studied under Utah artist Avard Fairbanks and created a sculpture of Porter Rockwell, who sat on the Council of Fifty, as well as lighting fixtures for 20 LDS temples, including the Payson Utah Temple and the Lima Peru Temple. In 1997, he created the Hilda Erickson Memorial Statue, a public monument to all American pioneers in Grantsville, Utah. This chandelier features two, large elk antlers crossed over each other with cast bronze leaves and bronze painted covered wires acting as vines. The vines adorn the elk antlers and are threaded through the bronze leaves. The top of the chandelier shows a large bronze ball with a detailed bronze pinecone attached to the bottom. The top of the ball features the attached chain to hang the chandelier from the ceiling. The shades for the four faux candlesticks feature a rawhide construction with sinew threading and an easy slide locking system to put them over the lights. The shades are in fair to bad condition as they all exhibit wear and damage from their use. Tears and holes are present in the rawhide shades. Comes with an extra rawhide shade. The chandelier shows good condition overall with slight wear present from its use over the years, but no signs of major damage is noted. Candlestick fixtures are set in holes, some loose but still good. Wire vines and bronze leaves are intact. It measures approximately 37" L x 33 1/2" W x 33 3/4" H and weighs
