Assembly Rooms Bath
Enquire about this itemManufactured by William Parker of Fleet Street in 1771, we were honoured to carry out the total restoration and conservation of 2 suites of chandeliers from the Ballroom and Tearoom of Bath Assembly Rooms between 1989 and 1991. These chandeliers are recognised as one of the most important collections of Georgian chandeliers in the world today. There was a huge number of repairs that need to be performed, replacement parts to be blown and cut, metalwork to be replated and rewiring.

Warwick Castle Chandelier
Enquire about this itemThe chandelier has hung in the State Dining Room of Warwick Castle since 1786 and still used (for display purposes only) wax candles until we restored it in 2016.
To restore the chandelier it was sympathetically wired with 42 electric candles and fitted with LED bulbs, all the crystal was removed and given a deep clean, then we repaired any weak or broken wires and bent metal arms were straightened. We carefully cleaned all the metalwork ensuring the original patina was not damaged, applying a coat of wax to protect the finish.
Thankfully, most of the crystal pendants on the chandelier were original rock crystal pieces, but there were a few lead crystal replacements and some missing pieces, for which we were able to supply suitable rock crystal replacements from our antique stock.
