Yale Calhoun College Lighting Restoration Project in the Final Stages
With only two chandeliers and one outdoor fixture remaining, the Yale Calhoun College lighting restoration project is nearly complete.
Quite commonly, components of outdoor lighting fixtures can get lost or discarded from exposure to weather or vandalism. When restoring antique lighting fixtures, our artisans will fabricate any of these missing components in a way that preserves the fixture’s historical integrity.
The two outdoor fixtures pictured here were in need of new bottom doors and glass panels. Metal rings and other components were fabricated and clear seedy glass panels were made. The fixtures were then cleaned, rewired, and repaired as needed, and the new components were antiqued to match the original finish of the fixtures.
With the new components assembled and the fixture fully cleaned, repaired, and rewired, the fixtures were tested in accordance with UL standards, and inspected for historical accuracy.
