Restoration of Bohemian crystal chandeliers continues

The chandeliers were partially disassembled at the museum last week by Grand Light as a protective measure, insuring that each piece was meticulously packaged for transport to Grand Light's restoration facility.

Upon arrival, the chandeliers' delicate arms, center column and all remaining components were photographed and cataloged. The chandeliers were completely disassembled and all components were inspected for mechanical deficiencies and repaired as required including resetting several damaged crystal arms.

Each crystal component experienced a thorough four part cleaning process, including final rinsing and hand polishing in order to regain the glorious luster of the chandeliers 1929 debut.

The restoration process included removal and replacement of all original cloth insulated wiring and electrical components and rewired in accordance with UL standards.

All components and partial assemblies were inspected and carefully packed for final assembly at the museum, including a Hipot test of the electrical components on site.
