Velvet antlers are rare, delicate, and unforgettable. Antlers by Klaus offers lifelike velvet antler replication for real antlers or replicas, using a protected process designed to preserve the original while recreating the soft texture, color, and character of velvet for display.

What is velvet antler replication?

Velvet antler replication recreates the look of antlers in velvet. The process focuses on both the structure of the rack and the surface quality that makes velvet so visually unique and appealing.

A convincing velvet replica needs more than a soft covering. It needs realistic texture, natural color transitions, proper thickness, and hand-painted detail across beams, tines, tips, and bases.

Can velvet be replicated without damaging the original?

Yes. The Antlers by Klaus process is designed to replicate velvet antlers without damaging the original set of antlers. This allows hunters, collectors, and taxidermists to restore velvet to their original antlers or add it to their reproduction.

Who should choose velvet antler replication?

Velvet replication is ideal for hunters and collectors who harvested a specimen that had velvet and want to add it to their original antlers or custom antler reproduction. It is also useful for taxidermists, museums, outfitters, and families who need a velveted display.

This service is often used for:

  • Duplicate antler sets
  • Trophy room and museum displays
  • Replacement racks for damaged velvet mounts
  • High-end replicas and collector pieces
  • One-of-a-kind mounts or unique projects
