Liechtenstein Stadtpalais

Restoration of monumental historic chandeliers

The „Quadratsaal“ chandelier

It started as a single monumental chandelier to be restored. All crystal parts were missing and one complete sixth of the metal was missing and had to be reconstructed. Superior gilding techniques and expert casting were among the most demanding tasks besides the installation of high-tech Swarovski LED candles.

During this inspiring project follow-up projects were awarded resulting in three more monumental chandeliers of similar size and various states of preservation. These ranged from mere cleaning and restoring to full research and reconstruction from an indistinct picture.
