Liturgical Objects Repairs

I frequently repair chalices and communion plates for churches but rarely took photos. Stay tuned, I will take more photos. In the meantime, look at the examples below.

Brass liturgical candlestick

This brass candlestick dated 1906 arrived bent over. The problem was the brass was worn thin from over 100 years of polishing and had split at the edges when it bent. It is filled with pitch which is common for many candlesticks. The first request was if I could straighten the candlestick (which I was able to do.)  Fixing the seams of the brass candlestick is very involved and expensive so the more permanent repair was delayed until funds are set aside in the church budget.

Brass liturgical candelabra from a church

This brass candelabra from a local church had a candle cup that would no longer screw into place. It was a anasy repair but important to do right away before the parts are lost or damaged.
