CONCORD, MA - This past Tuesday, restoration professionals from Grand Light returned to Minute Man National Historical Park in Concord, Massachusetts to reinstall a beautifully restored crystal chandelier. The chandelier had been on display for a number of decades in the Stedman Buttrick House, which serves as the park's headquarters and visitors' center for the historic North Bridge.

When the chandelier was removed for the park, we discovered an issue with three of the original arms.  Two of the arms had cracked at the base, and one arm was missing entirely. Also missing were two glass holders which hold the 6" diameter glass globes that rest on the end of each arm.  These missing components along with the damaged and missing arms needed to be replicated.

With the original crystals now re-pinned with replacement crystals of the same grade, it was time to rewire the arms of chandelier.

The restoration team is currently in the process of completely restoring and rewiring a large crystal chandelier from the Minute Man National Historical Park's North Bridge Visitor Center in Concord, Massachusetts.

Following removal and partial dissasembly on site at the park, the chandelier was driven to Grand Light's restoration workshop, where the chandelier's delicate arms, center column and all remaining components were photographed and cataloged. The chandelier was then completely disassembled and all components were inspected for mechanical deficiencies.

Having seen a beautiful chandelier while traveling in Europe, a New Jersey resident called Grand Light to see if could have one custom-made for his own home.

Grand Light was recently contacted by a client who wanted to replicate a chandelier that he had seen in Europe. Using a picture he had provided as inspiration, Grand Light's artisans sketched out their interpretation of what the new chandelier will look like.

Please have a look below to see the photo of the original chandelier, along with our shop drawings which will serve as a blueprint for production of the replication.
