Dear Albert.
 
    It is made of  stag antler and wood, and I would say made after 2000 (ie., last 16 years).
Best,
Joey

Thanks joey, You are a really expert!

I had seen this in a spanish online shop, and I suppose that it's not very old, because it's cheap; but in my opinion stag antler and wood are nice material.

Dear Albert,
 
     You are right, the two materials combine to make a very appealing object. If it is actually Chinese, the antler is from the Chinese Sika Deer (Cervus Sinensis), a relate species to the Japanese Sika Deer (Cervus Japonicus). I have a small herd of the Japanese ones on my estate in Ireland.
Best,
Joey
