REPAIR AND RESTORATION OF STAINED GLASS
 |
Stained Glass Restoration is an art form all of its own. Replacing stained glass or hand painted pieces requires the skill and patience of a master craftsmen and glass artisan all in one. Our studio philosophy is to keep the piece as original as possible as not to change the integrity or historic value. Only a carefully trained and experienced eye can detect the subtle nuances and characteristics of the glass used. Even the brush strokes used by the artist that made the original piece, in some cases a 100 to 200 years earlier, have to be meticulously matched. Art Glass specializes in the conservation of historical stained glass with the experience and knowledge of the three generations of stained glass artisans. Our staff is well qualified and expertly knowledgeable in the removal of historical stained glass windows. The proper steps taken in the removal of any historical stained glass window is crucial to insure that no additional damage will occur. Crating, handling and transportation is as important as any of the procedures in the whole process.
