Product DescriptionThe Union League Club of New York City is one of the few private clubs in America that was founded in 1863. Its fourth and current clubhouse is located at 38 East 37th Street on the corner of Park Avenue, in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. It was designed by Benjamin Wistar Morris and opened on February 2, 1931. The building was designated a New York City landmark on October 25, 2011. Many prominent civic, state, and national leaders have enjoyed the fellowship of the Club, including Theodore Roosevelt, J. Pierpont Morgan, John Jay, William Cullen Bryant, Chester A. Arthur, and Thomas Nast. Each historic chandelier includes thirty-two alternating aqua/cobalt decorative glass panels. One side of each glass panel’s surface is composed of a dual layer of reflective mercury and black paint, contributing to a unique mirrored finish. Unfortunately, the mirrored finishes had deteriorated significantly, dulling the appearance and color of the decorative glass and causing numerous visual inconsistencies. Our artisans individually hand-washed each glass panel before applying a new custom 2-layer reflective and black finish, for a renewed, consistent mirrored appearance. Additionally the existing reflectors, composed of cardboard and painted white, also had numerous and varying levels of deterioration resulting in surface cracks and separation. New reflective .018 Alcad aluminum reflectors were custom cut and slumped to match existing, while a new white finish was applied to the top of each reflector, simulating the function of the existing cardboard but with an improved reflectance, durability, and longevity.
