Window Salvage and Restore

Restore Complete

Someone I know bought a stained glass window that was salvaged from some house. I think it was cut right out of the casing as it still had the three sides of the sash attached.

What I’m working with

One clear section was broken and the red diamond was cracked and looking shabby.

Gonna need some surgery in the center of the piece

Time to disassemble

Sliced apart and cut new red glass

I didn’t take photos of the reassembly. I cut and fit the glass and resoldered. I added a zinc edge and some wire hooks so it can be hung

Almost done!

Add some patina in a bottle, and clean it thoroughly, but not so much it loses its charm, and we’re good to go!

Cleaned up and ready to hang
