Stunning Elevator Cabs

04.15.13

Just look at these beautiful elevator cabs. They were designed by the very talented Michael Laudati and built by the craftsmen at United Elevator Cab. We stamped our Molding No. 2231 for along the tops of the walls and our panels No. 221 for the wainscoting out of solid sheet brass for this project. The antique finish was applied by United Elevator Cab. Congrats to all on this eye-popping design and build.DSC00089 OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA image006 OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
