Chandelier restoration parts
This is an original hand made piece and will allow your Murano chandelier to retain its historic value

When restoring antique chandeliers we would always recommend, where possible, to use antique chandelier parts rather than reproduction pieces.  Whilst a reproduction piece may appear to be cheaper (depending on the piece) it can detract from the value of your chandelier both from a monetary value but also an historic value.  The processes used now are not the same as when the pieces were originally made.  For instance Murano, also known as Venetian Glass, the furnaces for the molten glass used wood, whereas today gas furnaces are the choice for glassmaking.  The glassmakers of Murano were skilled craftsmen who relied more on their skills than specialised tools having an old saying "Good tools are nice, but good hands are better,"
