Beautiful Set of Door and Surrounding Panels

These lovely panels were existing in our customers home but required a good bit of TLC. After removal, they were brought to our studio where they were given a bit of a makeover. This began with a very good scrub, since decades old stained glass can accumulate a fair few cobwebs. Then they were treated to some new border leads as the old ones had perished over time, and often get damaged during removal.

A few of the windows also required some repairs, and this is done by removing the broken glass, gently bending the leads back and cutting to size a new piece of glass to match the old. This is then eased back into the window, and the leads are then bent and smoothed back into place, securing the new glass.

The real star of the show here is the door panel, which was made new to match the existing set. Our talented designer, Bethany, was able to draw up a design extracting elements from the original windows as well as selecting matching glass, to create something, which we think, blends in perfectly with what was already there.

We love to see our customers choosing to, not only keep their stained glass, but investing their time and money into preserving it to last many years to come.
