We were asked to restore this pair of large early Victorian gilt-lacquered and patinated-bronze seven light candelabra ready to be auctioned. They had been in storage for many years and the metalwork had become very tired and the candelabra had unfortunately lost a couple of its metal castings. By making moulds of the remaining metal pieces we were able to cast new brass pieces and colour them to match. They were re-gilded and bronzed before selling at Christie’s auction – Works of Art from the Collection of H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon in 2006.
Style: Candelabra / Lustres
Dimensions: Height 115cm
Before being restored this Georgian style “Williamsburg” chandelier was shattered into many pieces after falling from the ceiling at a customers house after their builders had incorrectly installed a ceiling hook. New lead crystal pieces were blown and then hand cut in our Kent workshops, it required 6 new arms and pans, 3 stem pieces, one central bowl and over 60 new cut pears.
Style: Crystal Chandelier
