Summary/Abstract: The article describes the process of making a replica according to the traditional techniques, having as a model a baroque chandelier from the wooden church in Boz village, Hunedoara county. This study describes three distinct working techniques: wood carving, tempera painting on wood panel and metal working. Starting from a piece of wood, each element is made separately, then carved and finished. The raw material was the linden wood, and the specific tools were chisels, row, sandals and mallet. After the wood supports were made, their priming and painting followed. Finally, the parts were mounted together with the metal arms and the electric circuit. The chandelier is already on display in the altar of the church, next to the original one, from the nave and serves to illuminate the interior painting that has been preserved
