Serving New York For Over 25 Years
The Beacon Theatre is a celebrated New York City landmark. In 2009, Metal Man Restoration was hired to restore the original 900-pound chandelier in the theater’s rotunda, a centerpiece of the richly decorated lobby that had hung for some 80 years.
The chandelier was in poor condition when our team arrived. It had been lowered to the floor, was heavily soiled, and was missing most of its crystals. The crystal orb was propped on a vintage six-inch coffee can painted gold, sockets were bent or dead, and the candelabra sleeves were yellowed and burnt from years of use.
Four chandelier specialists from Metal Man Restoration worked around the clock for over two weeks. They cleaned the fixture back to its original luster, cleaned the surviving crystals in a two-part acid bath and re-pinned them with new brass wire, replicated the missing crystals to match the originals, and installed new candelabra sleeves and sockets.
The restoration preserved an irreplaceable fixture and keeps it shining as a centerpiece of the Beacon Theatre lobby.
