Hlavní město Praha, Hlavní město Praha,
In the façade of this Art Nouveau beauty we find the inscription Elias Palme with the dates 1849, the founding of the company and 1905, when Friedrich Palme decided to establish this then new modern chandelier factory. In the year of the tenth anniversary of the Republic, this world-famous company created the largest trimmings basket up to that time for the auditorium of the Royal Opera in Rome, with a diameter of ten metres. A quote from Wika tells us just how many important commissions the company managed to win before the war... "La Scala in Milan, the Waldorf Astoria...

In the façade of this Art Nouveau beauty we find the inscription Elias Palme with the dates 1849, the founding of the company and 1905, when Friedrich Palme decided to establish this then new modern chandelier factory. In the year of the tenth anniversary of the Republic, this world-famous company created the largest trimmings basket up to that time for the auditorium of the Royal Opera in Rome, with a diameter of ten metres. A quote from Wika tells us just how many important commissions the company managed to win before the war... "La Scala in Milan, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York and the Sydney Opera House. The factory also produced lighting for the palace of the Turkish Sultan, the Albee Theatre in New York, as well as chandeliers for the Freemasons' Palace in Copenhagen and the German Federal House in Prague."
After the war it was nationalised and its future fate is perhaps clear from its condition...Empty, broken, yet making it clear that it was something more. The attentive visitor will not miss the remnants of the panelling, but also the paintings of the premises showing the level of the time, or the German inscriptions that survived the totalitarian period and still remind our former fellow citizens who created and worked here.

V průčelí téhle secesní krásky najdeme nápis Elias Palme s daty 1849, vznik firmy a 1905, kdy se Fridrich Palme rozhodl založit tuto tehdy novou moderní továrnu na lustry. V roce desáteho výročí republiky v této celosvětově proslavené firmě vznikl do té doby největší ověsový koš pro hlediště Královské opery v Římě o průměru deseti metrů. Z citace Wiky zjistíme, jak významné zakázky jen do války dokázala získat..."La Scala v Miláně, Hotel Waldorf Astoria v New Yorku či opera v Sydney. Továrna vyrobila také osvětlení pro palác tureckého sultána, divadlo Albee v New Yorku a rovněž lustry pro palác svobodných zednářů v Kodani a Německý spolkový dům v Praze".
Po válce byla znárodněna a její další osud je snad zřetelný z jejího stavu...Prázdná, rozbitá, přesto však dávající jasně najevo, že byla něčím víc. Pozornému návštěvníku neuniknou zbytky obložení, ale i výmalby prostor ukazující tehdejší úroveň, nebo německé nápisy, které přečkaly i období totality a dodnes připomínají naše bývalé spoluobčany, kteří to tu stvořili a pracovali tu.
