Atelier Sconce House Bespoke Crystal Sconce Restrung to a Historic Pattern

We take an existing frame, research the correct trimming for its date and restring it in period cut crystal. Country house work mostly, where somebody in the nineteen seventies hung the wrong drops on a Georgian frame.

Bespoke work runs to a set sequence so nobody is surprised. You tell us what you need, we quote, you pay a fifty per cent deposit, we issue a drawing or a sample for your approval, and only then do we start making. The balance falls due when the piece is ready to leave the workshop. Nothing goes into production without your signature on the drawing.

Fitting

This is a hardwired fitting and should be installed by a qualified electrician working to BS 7671. It arrives with a standard round backplate and fixing screws. Wall plugs are not supplied because the right fixing depends on whether you are going into brick, block, plasterboard or lath and plaster. At roughly 5.5 kilograms it needs a proper fixing. Use the supplied screws into masonry, or a heavy duty plasterboard anchor rated well above the weight of the light. We will send a mounting drawing with the quotation so your electrician can prepare the wall before delivery.
