 Historical
Reproductions
Because of our attention to detail and
precision, Keicher Metal Arts is recognized
as a leader in historical reproductions.
From historical hardware, to entrances, to
lighting fixtures, whatever...we can do it
all.
Two of our most recent notable projects are
the NYS Capitol Elevator Restoration and NYS
Assembly East & West Lobby Restoration:
NYS Capitol Elevator Renovation:
Keicher Metal Arts was the exclusive
metal fabricator in the replication and
restoration of 4 historic elevators (circa
1908) for the NYS Capitol in Albany NY. Our
work included fabricating the interior of
the elevator cabs in bronze, fabricating
bronze hoistway doors, hand forging bronze
grills, making custom bronze castings, and
fabricating the very ornate entrances. This
project was done for the New York State
Assembly
Historic Torchiere and Wall Sconce
Reproductions at the NYS Assembly East and
West Lobbies:
The original torchieres, which were
natural gas powered, were melted down for
the war effort. Since none existed to take
patterns from, we reproduced them from
historic photos and extremely detailed
 architects’
drawings from John G Waite and Associates.
Each torchiere is 14’ tall and is comprised
of 70 components. Several processes were
used in fabrication such as casting, metal
spinning, lathe turning, machining,
waterjetting, welding, brazing, polishing,
etc. We hand-carved approximately 20
different patterns and molds for both lost
wax and sand cast components. The globes
were custom made. All fixtures are UL
approved.
