Missouri State Capitol’s Chandelier Restoration
May 24th, 2008 | By CollectOs | Category: Movies to watchIn this movie you may watch the repair and re-hanging of the chandelier that has hung in the rotunda of the Missouri State Capitol since 1918. The chandelier was damaged during repair work in 2006, and was brought to St. Louis Antique Lighting Company in University City, which specializes in repairing historic light fixtures. This chandelier was quite a challenge, as it has 2,000 parts and weights 8,000 pounds, but after much care and work, it once again hangs in Jefferson City.
The repair work needs great skill and patience as these old chandeliers were extremely complicated, not only that I bet they had to take extra precautions so as to not to damage it.
I have been reading related articles, but was pleasantly surprised that someone is actually putting energy and effort in giving something unique to their readers. This is definitely going to be one of my must read blogs. Keep up the good work.
