24-10-2014 Signmaker sounds alarm bells:

Schitterend fights for Dutch cultural heritage. Walk through any Dutch street and all facade advertising billboards looks the same: box letters, light boxes and plastic panels. In other words: advertising in modern times. What the majority of people do not know is that behind that modern advertisement often beauties of antique facade billboards are to be found. Hidden to the eye. If they are still there, because unfortunately many were killed during alterations and renovations. Or even worse, they are removed and replaced without looking back. "A disgrace, an eternal sin and a loss of our cultural heritage!" says Erik Winkler, sign maker and art historian from Diemen in the Netherlands. read more

26-02-2014 Antique street lights shine again after silvering.

"I want some light in the darkness" a Belgian customer started a recent conversation. The good man was a passionate collector of art nouveau street furniture. In his collection, he had three original 120 year old Parisian art nouveau streetlights. The inside of the lamps were fitted with spherical glass elements, which were supposed to be silvered on the outside to give an optimal light reflection. Were supposed yes, because the silver layer had virtually disappeared after 120 years of exposure to the elements. My client wanted the streetlights to - literally - shine again on his estate and asked Schitterend if restoration was possible. read more

So… panic. read more
