Pull handles and push plates for Cardiff City Hall
As part of a major refurbishment, Silver Kite was asked to make copies of the original pull handles and push plates used in the iconic building of Cardiff City Hall. On examination, it was found that the base material of the existing items was bronze, so using the originals as patterns, new castings were made using the 'lost wax' casting process

Solution
On examination, it was found that the base material of the existing items was bronze, so using the originals as patterns, new castings were made using the 'lost wax' casting process.
The castings were then hand finished and polished.
Silver Kite was also tasked to refinish the existing items and bring them back to their original condition.
