Jerome Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I suggest you ring or send some emails to posh hotels. I doubt many people have just got one of these lieing around. It's not something you just happen to stumble across I shouldn't imagine. Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Event suppliers that do posh corporate/wedding marquee dressing and similar might be able to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Is it even likely that you will find one locally on free hire and cheap transport? Quite seriously have you thought of bending some conduit or rebar? B&Q usually have some bar stock and tube. Note also that whatever you have find or make it will be a serious point load on some rigging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musht Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Used to work for a shop that sold chandys, up at that size , like 24 light or so, its a couple of days to install one, they come in a lot parts and cost about the same as a nice 2 bedroom flat in Glasgow, thats in brass , in full lead crystal could re wire the stage for much the same cost. Its a prop, it needs to suggest a large grand chandelier, not neccesarilly be a large grand chandelier..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant <_< . Vicky_ad- How on earth can you possibly say it's not a problem when you haven't sourced one or know how much it weighs? Did you not read the part of they take two days to install? Who's grand idea was it to have a 'massive chandalier' and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 A brief reality check would reveal that this http://www.amhire.com/stlist/islm/slm1315.htm costs £400 a week and probably weighs 200 kilos. May have to be collected and will have to be insured for it's replacement value. You will likely need a whole day each way to and from London and a day to unpack it and hang it. If this is for a fully budgeted show then this may be reasonable but if it's a student freebie then is it a reasonable place to start? I'd seriously look at some drawings and some real ones (National Trust, NTScotland etc) and then look to fabricate something like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lightnix Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'd seriously look at some drawings and some real ones (National Trust, NTScotland etc) and then look to fabricate something like.I was going to post the same suggestion yesterday, but got sidetracked. Given that this is a rustic chandelier (as opposed to some airy-fairy crystal thing) it should be much easier to make - many of them were just fashioned from wood, with few metal fittings and decorated with dead animal parts (e.g. antlers). With black grate polish and a buffing wheel on a drill, you can make almost anything look like cast / wrought iron <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lightnix Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 The term chandelier can refer to any... ...branched decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture with two or more arms bearing lights...Source... Where is the scene set - in a castle, barn, bierkeller or somewhere else? Is it made from wood or metal? The phrase, German rustic chandelier makes me think of this kind of thing; but could equally apply to other types of design. It's difficult to know exactly what to suggest, without a little more information <_< ...almost anything...Sorry that should have been "almost anything wooden" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
