Chandelier Repair - Info
I bought this chandelier about 10-15 years ago for a couple of bucks. I really love the cut glass / prisms. I'm about to install it in our renovated stairway.
However. Before that. Time has come to give it a little love. I'm redoing the wiring. I need to replace some of the pins that mount the crystal. The rings need to be polished. And I'm thinking about redoing the chrome of the main arms. Either Chrome or Nickel plated.
Most of it I can figure out. But what stumps me is what pins they used for mounting. They have both a rounded side at the front, and sort of a hammered flattened side at the back. But I just cant imagine taking a swing at the back of these things. Which ones should I get. And do you have any tips or tricks?
Ideally, I would like to get a smaller version for the downstairs landing. I think the manufacturer no longer exists. As I cannot find any chandeliers that are a close match.
Appreciated!
