Stained glass door panels, Brixton

stained glass Brixton

One of the 2 larger panels had been destroyed and substituted with a pane of plain ‘wirecast’ glass.  The other was beginning to disintegrate and was very dirty, fitted behind a sheet of plain ordinary glass, that wasn’t well sealed into the opening. 
All the glass was removed and new laminated safety glass sealed into the openings.  The intact leaded panel was taken apart and cleaned, and used as a pattern to cut the glass for a new matching panel.  The 2 panels were put together with new lead and set behind the laminated glass, retained with new beading and a support bar.
This is a good example of how laminated glass outer panel can appear in bright light.
