The last time I was at ABC Carpet & Home in New York (forgive me for not knowing what's there now–it's been a few months), it looked like the place had been taken over by stags. Ironic interpretations of the real thing, to be precise.

I saw pink stags and green stags and silver stags, big stags and tiny stags. And things like this (from a few of my other favorite sources):

The whole look has been big for a while (antlers, faux or not, are very sculptural-looking decorative objects, after all).

I love it, but I'm willing to bet that the trendy versions lose their appeal by next year.

So, for those looking for something similar (stag horn, longhorn, impala horn) but a little more enduring, here are three great sources:

1. Vagabond House. They make the most beautiful pewter and horn tableware I've seen. Yes, the horn is real, but that's exactly what gives it such a rich, organic vibe.

  

2. Old Texas. Some of the things are heavy-handed and "themed," but some are truly chic. Like this:
