Electric candlestick from 1905

- This electric Art Nouveau candlestick went to a grandmother in the attic, who received it as a wedding gift in 1905.
Characteristics
Art Nouveau is based on the floral concepts of the British textile designer William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, which returned to folk traditions and romanticism to the craftsmanship of medieval masters and thus opposed the simplicity of processing industrial products driven by the Industrial Revolution. This style was also strongly influenced by English painters known as the Pre-Raphaelites.
The greatest secession of Art Nouveau reached between 1890 and 1910 in Europe and the United States. In France it is called Art nouveau, in Germany Jugendstil, the Czech name "secession" (German Sezession, from the Latin secessio branching) comes from art associations, which in Berlin (1891), Munich (1892) and especially in Vienna (Wiener Sezession, 1896) separated from conservative academies.
The main features of the Art Nouveau style are considered to be ornamentality, flatness and a fondness for unusual colors and aesthetic use of various materials. The supple Art Nouveau ornament expresses a special quality of Art Nouveau feeling, which avoids emotional fluctuations and strong will and tends to a balanced mood. The Art Nouveau line is a smooth undulating curve, which evokes in the viewer the impression of non-violent movement in an area, the monotony of which is balanced by color. Art Nouveau looks for unusual shades of color and binds them according to the principle of harmony and contrast. The central feature is stylization, Art Nouveau tries to overcome the pregnant themes of historical styles and turns directly to natural shapes (leaves, flowers, human and animal body).

Beautiful job. It looks like you have a matched set. This was a more complicated restoration than it appeared. Replacing the wiring and connecting it correctly took a lot of work. Now the candlesticks are not only beautiful, they are safe to use for many years to come. The brass polished beautifully. Thank you and smiles from the USA.
Thank you for acknowledging Pat :) Embrace from the Czech Republic, Radek
The end of this video is a tearjerker and thinking about the person that originally designed and made this lamp the smile that must be on their face from wherever they are.
Thank you very much. Have a nice day :) Radek
This is not only one of my favorite restoration channels but one of my favorite channels period on UA-cam. I love your content. Thank you for the peaceful entertainment.

СУПЕР РАБОТА.
Вау, спасибо :)
What some would see as old junk, you see as a treasure! Another beautiful restoration... and very useful, too! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you Braxton :) Radek
Dear Radek, the detail of the dripping candle was fantastic.
Thank you Mario :) Radek
A beautiful job. I could wish for two things: (1) that you had used the original switch; (2) that you would add on-screen commentary to tell us what materials you are using at each step, and their purpose.
Спасибо за видео!!! Потёки от свечки сделать термопистолетом - отлично, не ожидал!!!
Спасибо, я импровизировал. Изначально свечи были бумажными, но я не хотел рисковать рядом с лампочками.
@@VeradonaRestoration согласен, получилось очень хорошо!!!
@@user-ku4pt6qg5v Спасибо :)
Ну наконец могу налить чашечку кофе ,и насладиться любимым делом- просмотром))) Привет Мастер!))
Спасибо большое, Николай :) Прекрасный день, Радек
The whole time I was watching the disassembly I was thinking “this is going to be a nightmare wiring this thing.”.
Yes, I was afraid of that too, mainly to thread the wires back. They went wrong to earn, let alone return. Fortunately, it worked :)
Very creative, using PVC pipe and glue stick for the 'burning/dripping candle' illusion and adding an elegant upgrade to a classic design.
Thank you so much Orion :) Radek
An excellent restoration with some creative finishing touches. As a restorer and electrical engineer, I will offer you a pro tip. When using screw terminal connectors, never solder/tin the wires that go into screw or clamp electrical connectors. The solder is very soft and relaxes, cracks or breaks under mechanical tension causing the joint to become loose and causes arcing problems. Use crimp brass ferrules on the main conductor ends and a ring crimp connector and star washer on the earth/ground connection.
Thank you for the professional advice Stuart ! Radek
Brilliant Radek, I honestly thought you've met your match with this one, and once again you proved me wrong, I particularly liked the candles with the melted wax......................Bravo! I take it the young lady at the end is your daughter.🍻
Thanks Kevin, yes she was Natalie's daughter. We have 2 children Dominik 22 and Natálie 12. Have a nice day Radek
I've been watching so many of your old videos that I was at first confused when I saw you plug something in (I'm in the States). So, in order to understand how you do your work, I researched your electrical systems, outlets, and products. I'm a retired electrician who was licensed in Texas. I found your system to be more dynamic than ours and much simpler to understand. I like the efficiency of your ways.
I'm glad, thank you :)
What a lovely light fixture.....an excellent job in the restoration😍
Xoxo from your biggest fan in South Dakota 😘
Wow, thank you Albert :) Radek
Very nice job, a little sad because you didn't put the original switch, why You do not repair it? Ooooh
Because was black 😂😂😂
So glamorous and yet comfy. Love them.
Thanks :)
Another elegant restoration to add to your antique collection.
Thank you :)
Very clever insight with the threading of the wires...excellent video x
A old trick to get wires out if they are stuck in a small pipe: put some dishwasher soap on them on 1 side and let it run a bit down in the pipe. The soap itself washes out easy and does not harm anything
Perfect solution, sometimes I have to try :) Thank you Jacobus, Radek
first thank the designer who made the first ...
lovely work ...
I missed the wooden base ...
big hug here from Brazil
Thank you Claudio :) Radek
Радек, хорошая работа. Особо понравились два момента: оставленные в резерве провода и идея с потёками "воска".
Большое спасибо Владимир, я рада, что с тобой все в порядке :) Хорошего дня, Радек
Bonjours à vous deux encore une très très belle restauration de votre part, une recherche de dingues j'adore et hâte de vous regardez encore et encore à très bientôt
Merci Patrick, je suis honoré :) Radek
Another beautiful restoration, very pretty and classy lamps . Great job as usual. Rob T Australia
Thank you Rob :) Radek
Thanks for sharing your videos. They are a motivation for me.
Keep posting!!
Thank you so much Mauro, I'm pleased :) Radek
Beautiful work, Radek! And you have made the world a safer place - I wonder how many people got shocked by this lamp with all of the exposed wiring inside before you restored it?!
Thanks, I don't know :) Radek
My guess is that these were originally intended for candles, but "electrified" in the early 1970s. At that point, the bases were replaced with hollow sheet metal ones. The originals would have been more solid, for stability. Around 1990 someone replaced the line cord with a substandard twin-core one, losing the earth connection, which is ESSENTIAL in a metal lamp. The 1970s cotton-covered wiring was correct. It would protect the connections inside the arms should they get hot. Those vinyl replacements would melt and cause a short.
Another amazing restoration from Veradona Restoration. I so want those candelabra, not bad for an item which is 116 years old. Amazing. Thank you.
Thank you :)
There's something uniquely satisfying about highly polished brass. The Edison style bulbs and repro early century braided cord were a nice touch. Well done!
Thank you, I'm pleased :) Radek
Beautifully and safely done. Fascinating to see the materials of the time, 100+ years ago, and the current ones that replace them. That lamp will have another century of new (nouveau) life. And that old brass buffed up like it was just waiting for it.
Thanks.
I thank you Joe :) Radek
You cease to amaze me another great job, have a nice bright day !!!.
Very nice! Except... you don’t seem to have any strain relief on the mains cord, a simple knot would do. And the protective earth wire should be the longest so it will be the last one to detach if the cord is pulled. Now it’s the first to go as it’s so short compared to the live and neutral wires.
Not trying to sound like a smart ass this is a legit question, are you an electrician ?
@@jonny555ive Not by trade but I went to school to become one way back when.
Beautiful restoration, very nice old candle lamps.
Thank you Larry :) Radek
i think one thing i'd like to see at the end is the total time you put in to each of your projects. they're fascinating to watch and your presentation is great!
Отличная работа, молодец
Спасибо
Bonjour, ce qui est bien dans vos vidéos c'est que tous les objets ont une histoire, ne changez rien surtout .
Merci beaucoup Jean Claude, je suis content que tu aimes ça :) Bonne journée Radek
What an excellent video, I could watch stuff like this all day, cheers, Stewie, South Western Australia.
Thank you Stewie, I'm glad :) Radek
Hello. Once again you have done a miracle. Your candlestick is simply a dream. It takes your breath away so much that it is beautiful. In addition you have two. I would love to have it in my house. It is really nice. Among the items you refurbished there are a few items that I just love. The first is the small travel stove with two burners, then it is the small box for the wood that you have placed next to your heater and the third is this magnificent candlestick. Of course, there are plenty of others that I find magnificent. But these three touched my heart, especially the candlestick. Thanks for your great video. Gabriel (France).
Thanks again Gabriel, yes the stove was great, I would like it too, it wasn't mine. Candlesticks and charcoal boxes yes :) Have a nice day Radek
Absolument FAN-TAS-TI-QUE!!! Superbe travail. J'adore. Bravo!!!
Thank you very much :) Radek

все время сотрю и восторгаюсь. и завидую. золотые руки. талант.МАСТЕРСТВО!!!!!!!!!!!!
Спасибо Сергей :)
Great job again...one hint, tie the feeder cord into a knot under the base as a strain relief....as an electrician I see these things, peace.
Yes thank you for the advice :)
Wonderful video! I will go to Veronika’s UA-cam next.
I loved my visits to your country both before and after the “Velvet Divorce”. I was lucky to go across the West German Czech auto border five days after they were opened to free traffic. It was amazing to see the thanks to the WWII American forces that freed the country from the Nazi’. American flags were everywhere, as were thanks to the Army V Corps. I have visited three more times with Dubrovnik my latest favorite.
Your command of English is as good as most Americans 😊. I wish I could visit Prague again!
Thank you so much Wanda, yes Prague is beautiful. I was not yet close to Dubrovnik :) Nice day Radek and Veronica
Новая деталь интерьера. Главное, чтобы не пришлось менять весь интерьер под деталь.
P. S. Конечно могу ошибаться, но по моему это была Вероника!
Всего самого наилучшего, замечательная работа!
Благодарю Алексей . Если человек думает, что загорается лампа? так это была дочка Натали :) Хорошего дня Радек
С самого начала уже представляла как они будут сиять! Классно! Такой уют создают в комнате!
Спасибо Юлия :)
Nice job, awesome craftsmanship brother.
I dig the hot glue candle effect, smart.
Thank you Jonny :) Radek
These turned out fantastic!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Samantha :) Radek
Fantastic as usual and love the idea with the glue on the candles
Thank you so much Ian :) Radek
Bravo.
Another perfect job.
The candles are a very well made illusion, this is a good tip how to imitate.
I love the sheen of polished brass.
Warm greetings from Hamburg and stay healthy, Joachim
Thank you so much Joachim :) Radek
So beautiful they are, and what a amazing restoration. I love them and I am a little bit jealous.
Thank you very much Elisabeth :) Radek
Золоті руки у вас !!!
Дуже люблю дивитись як із фактично сміття відроджується така краса.
Це робить мене щасливим, дякую
Awesome job as usual Radek. That was a LOT of work but the finished job is perfect. I would never have thought to use the hot glue, you are a very clever man. All the best, Stuart & Lea 🇦🇺

You did another very skilful renovation. The lamp looked very good when you finished your work. Well done Radek.
Thank you very much Nick :) Radek
Outstanding work. The small touches really made this project stand out.
Thank you :)
How lovely those turned out! I have a similar style set from my great uncle several years ago. They have been in my garage for years, but seeing how well these cleaned up, I may see a project on my hands!! ❤️
Great, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, Kimberly :) Radek
I love lamps and I learned from this video. Thank you. Thank you for telling us information about this lamp too.

Tremenda restauración! Hermosos quedaron!!!! Me encantan los candelabros y esos son muy bonitos! En este canal se ven restauraciones excelentes. Gracias por el vídeo.
Wow! After watching you take this lamp apart, I will never look at lamps in the same way lol. Great job 👍
Thanks :)) Radek
The idea at 8:45 with the wiring was genius 👏👏
Thank you Frederico :) Radek
You obviously enjoy what you do, and I enjoy your videos....
That makes me happy, thank you :) Radek
Прекрасная работа!!!👍👍👍

The fake candles are great!
:-D
And a real struggle with the wires...
8-0
Never seen contacts on a switch with plastic clamping cams...
Great job!
:-D
Thanks friend . I saw the switches for the first time :) Maybe I did it right :) Radek
I love these so much!!! They are wonderful
That makes me happy, thank you :)
Bonjour Radek superbe travail comme d'habitude magnifique ce chandelier .
Merci beaucoup Jean Louis :) Radek
Awesome! You are so clever; I would have completely messed up with the wiring and pulled it all out, instead of leaving some to guide the new wire. Loved the candle sticks, didn't think the hot glue would look good, but it is beautiful.
Learn something every time I see one of your videos, thanks so much for posting! Take care, stay healthy

Very good job. It's a masterpiece. 👍🇧🇪
Thanks :)
I am continually amazed at your talent and ingenuity. Bluntly, you are really good.
Thank you Terry :) Radek
just a curious question but why does one lamp have all brass accents but one has white plastic on the main support shaft?
Each lamp is slightly different. It is not plastic, but painted cast iron.
I've been awaiting: to see this one for quite a while. It has a strong reference to the electric Christmas candle, which I still have. I wanted it to go well along with the Christmas wreath. I'm someone who's supposed to promise that I would treat Christmas a lot like as if it were my favorite holiday. I've already learned that you're supposed to honor and respect Christmas. But the electric Christmas candle I have operated on a flicker bulb. 💡☃️⛄️❄️⭐️🎄🎍🏅🥇🥈🥉🎖🏆🎅 🤶 🧑🎄😇 🙏 🕯
Thank you George :)
Wow! What a difference Veradona. They look way better now. I'd probably would've gone with a dimmer bulb for the light sources... or maybe those bulbs that flicker like real candles.
Lovely job, nicely done and very creative.
Thank you Cem :) Radek
Who wouldn't LOVE to have those in their home? Beautiful job.
Thanks :)
That’s a rather interesting historical piece of lighting. And I like how you combined the antique components with the PVC piping and the LED filament lamps!
Thank you Harko :) Radek
Beautifully done.

Otra asombrosa restauracion, excelente resultado obtenido con este Candelero eléctrico de 1905, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela💯👍👍💯💯👊🙏
Gracias amigo :) Radek
@@VeradonaRestoration 👍💯👍👍
Are you sure it's from 1905? I think from the 1970s :)
I agree. If it was from 1905 it would have been built better and probably not electric.
I believe it is the year 1905 to 1920. The power cord, one bakelite bulb socket and switch were not original.
Most people didn't have electricity in 1905. The cord had been replaced at one point. The original braided wiring in the base leans more towards, at oldest, the mid 40's.
I'm sorry, so the friend who gave me the candlestick told me.
Whereas it's definitely not from 1905, it's definitely not from the 1970s either... My guess, mid 1940s.... Maybe late 30s...
Имитация воска отлично , как всегда Radek молодец!
