This book explores the Rambusch Company's rich origins as a multi-generational artisanal firm through a compilation of decorative arts projects spanning the past 25 years. Founded in 1898 by Frode Rambusch, a Danish artisan, today the company specializes in architectural lighting, stained glass, art metal, mosaic, restoration, and conservation. The book underscores the firm's unwavering commitment to excellence and craftsmanship, showcasing its ability to navigate the challenges of mass production and evolving design trends. The narrative explores the company's origins, tracing its evolution as a pioneering force in architectural illumination during the first half of the 1900s. Rambusch maintains a commitment to handcrafted production made in the USA. The volume spotlights the company's work in interiors, furnishing and lighting designs, incorporating the latest innovations via timeworn methods of craft, and its significant role as a partner in various projects, ranging from small-scale fixtures to monumental endeavors like the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. The projects are categorized into four highly descriptive sections of text, photographs and drawings, providing a comprehensive overview of Rambusch's diverse and impressive portfolio in the decorative and ecclesiastical arts.
