Crenshaw restoration lighting is presented for design inspiration and as an example of our work. Exact duplication of this original design may be restricted.
This large extraordinary pendant dates from the Art Deco period of the early 20th century. It is constructed of highly detailed, finely crafted cast and machined aluminum. The lenses are individually formed scalloped and segmented art glass panels. Historic restoration included returning the finish to its original satin luster, cleaning and structural repairs, rewiring for updated compact fluorescent lamping, structural modifications as needed to comply with modern UL code requirements, and lab certification for structural load safety and electrical integrity.
