Restoration


No, not some comedy... or a time in the C17th.

Complete! The semi - circular panel that had been brought for my attention.

I thought I was going to have to make do with some new glass. But no... my purchase was stunning. I didn't need to have the original glass with me, as soon as I saw it I knew it was a perfect match. Needless to say the purchase exceeded my expectations.

I suspect that the glass I needed was the book equivalent of being 'out of print'.
I had already taken the measurements, made a pattern piece and cleaned up two pieces of the original glass in readiness. Two of my new damaged panels were ideal to make good the semicircular panel. All the glass in it got a good clean up at the end and the leads blackened.

I hope, one happy client.

I've started the project I have had planned since the winter.
