Restoring an antique chandelier, seeking advice
Found this beautiful chandelier for sale. It’s pretty old, just need to get rid of some rust and repaint. The wiring is absolutely fried. Not sure if the cable is strong enough to hold it up long term (it has glass panels that I don’t wanna risk falling!) Would my best bet be wrapping the top with wire and hanging it by a hook or chain? Also appreciate any advice on getting rid of the rust & repainting while maintaining the integrity of the metal. It looks like it’s all welded together and still pretty solid. submitted by /u/treeshrimp420 [link] [comments]
