Prague National Theatre

On its long journey, the building of the National Theatre went through many periods of partial or complete repairs and reconstructions, some of which were not always successful.

Scope of work: 

1. Restoration of the central chandelier
2. Remanufacturing of exterior pendant lights
3. Manufacturing forged wall lanterns 

Interesting fact:

Our company BOS Mladá Boleslav was approached in 2005 by the management of the National Theatre for the restoration of the central chandelier. 

One of the many demands was to remove the clinking of the chandelier parts when trams pass around the theatre building. One issue was the very short threads of the light bulb sockets, which remained from past repairments. When the metal crafting was completed, the chandelier’s electrical installation was replaced, including the high-current control wiring and finally, the chandelier was plated with gold.

The majority of the work was done in the space of the theatre and our workshops.

During the subsequent repair of the facade, we remanufactured the exterior pendant lights. We worked with details from the lighting fixtures of the Prague National Museum for the manufacturing of the forged exterior lanterns, while respecting the requirements of the Monument Care Department.
