Chandeliers Extensive Restoration Work – The Guildhall, Derry

As part of the multi-million pound refurbishment project at Derry Guildhall we removed the chandeliers from the Great Hall to our factory for extensive restoration work.

This complex project required our team to:

• Produce new patterns and moulds to enable missing components to be manufactured

• Produce custom made new glass shades

• Refinish metalwork by hand in bronze

• Add additional lights to some of the main chandeliers

• Fit energy efficient lamps

Bronagh Lynch at architects Consarc Design Group who was project director for the Derry Guildhall refurbishment comments: “We have worked with Dernier & Hamlyn before at projects including Belfast City Hall and Ulster Hall. We knew that they would be capable of the high quality, painstaking work that was required at the Guildhall and, as ever, they delivered exactly what we needed.”

Norman McKnight from NMK Engineering, Dernier & Hamlyn’s agent in Ireland said: “We had to ensure that restoring the beauty of the lighting in the Great Hall was combined with updating the lamps to reduce energy consumption. In partnership with Dernier & Hamlyn we were able to meet both objectives to the immense satisfaction of the project director and the client Derry City Council.”
