This project restored an original Sedgwick dumbwaiter and turned it into a unique display feature.
The old components—pulley wheel, ropes, weights, and wood carriage—were cleaned and refinished/replaced while keeping their aged character making the operation more smooth. The interior wood was installed to highlight its natural grain.
LED backlighting was installed around the inside edges to softly highlight the mechanism and wood details.
Glass doors were added to enclose the space, creating a clean, finished look. The result is a restored antique with modern lighting that stands out as a focal point in the room.
