Tips on how to renovate a chandelier

Hi everybody! I am renovating my grandma's house. In her living room, there is a beautiful chandelier. Its a droplet chandelier, I do not know the epoque. It's in bronze (I think, maybe it's rust?) and has several crystals. I want to renovate it, but - even if I love DIY - I do not have any previous experience restoring chandeliers. I found this article on how to restore a chandelier, but I would also like more tips and tricks! Do you have any suggestions for me?? Thanks in advance!

 

Would/could you post a photograph so we can see what you see?

You might want to copy and save this for reference for a while....it helps when you're new!!!

For Future reference, when posting images:

Each image MUST be UNDER 1 MB....
There are instructions on site here on how to reduce the size of your image, if that is the problem......you are allowed up to 10 images per post!!! Here are some links to the instructions:

Try emailing them to yourself as "medium" size, they should then be under 1 MB!

As an added note, when you have your photos LISTED, BUT BEFORE you hit POST, please click on the wording that says to "INSERT EVERY IMAGE AS FULL IMAGE" !! That way, we're not clicking on little thumbnails, but get to see all of the images full sized!! Thanks! Remember, it takes a bit for MOST new members to get the hang of it, but it's really quite simple once you get used to it!!!" If you still have questions, DON'T hesitate to ASK!!!!

 

Detailed help really depends on the material. Some pics would be helpful. Usually, best to completely disassemble, refurbish the parts, and reassemble.
