INSTALLATION INFO

Decorators Supply has proudly produced hand-crafted architectural ornaments in Chicago since our establishment in 1883.  Our original designs were modeled in our factory between 1900 and 1930 by classically trained European artisans who immigrated to Chicago.

Below, we provide written (PDF) and some video instructions to help guide you in the successful installation of our historic products.  Feel free to contact us directly at 800/792-2093 if you have any questions relative to the installation of our products or need any further information.
