I am trying to contact you regarding reproducing some antique bobeches that were broken by a painter who took down an antique chandelier and broke some of the bobeches.
I tried to call your number 440-333-4768
and the message machine was full.
I’m not sure where you are located but I live in Chico, CA.
I will try to call you tomorrow but would appreciate it if you could e-mail me or call my number at 530-520-2488.
Thank you
Lucy Lewis
