Dulwich stained glass
This pair of panels were fitted in an outer porch door in July 2010. The door had solid panels and when closed provided no light to the hall. We arranged for the panels to be cut out, taking great care to ensure that the detailed moulding (a bolection moulding) around them on the outside was kept intact and the integrity of the door retained. We the fitted laminated glass into the openings for security, and the new leaded panels fitted behind these.
This panel, part of a set making up a large landing window that had been extensively damaged during a break-in, had to be comprehensively restored. We were provide, with just a small remaining section (itself very cracked), a few other glass pieces, and a rubbing the client had made of the pattern from one of the other panels. This was sufficient to replicate this Frank Lloyd-Wright type design.
This simple, yet attractive small panel was brought to us with various cracked pieces, and generally in poor condition. Fortunately we were able to match the damaged glass from our small stock of salvaged pieces. We also matched the lead, which was narrower than that commonly used, thus helping keep some of the simple delicacy of the original. Completed July 2010.
This panel, itself a copy of the original glass, had become loose, beginning to bow outwards, and with a couple of cracks. We removed it from the door, secured the opening, then disassembled, it, cleaned the glass and rebuilt the panel with new lead.
Fitted July 2010.
