Art Deco Light Repair Glass Slip Shade

Art Deco Light Repair Glass Slip Shade

October 21st, 2011 by Marc Konys - posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Antique lamp repair, Glass Globe

Two slip shades were broken during a remodeling project .   One shade was broken into about  ten pieces and one was broken into hundreds of pieces . I repaired  one shade  and reproduced one shade  .  Using a good shade as a form I cast a mold to make a new glass deco shade.

    Hello. I have an Art Deco chandelier and one of the slip shades broke into large and tiny pieces. Is there anything that can be done? Rebuild or repair, or replicate? Thank you so much.

    Hello
    I have an art deco chandelier and one of the sconce covers (glass) was broken when I moved. I can send you a picture of the item if you are able to take on this small project?
    Thanks so much

    I have an art deco ceiling fixture with five slip shades; dropped one and it broke into about six pieces (which I saved). Can you re-assemble the pieces? Or would you advise I send you one of the remaining intact four to make a new one? What is the cost factor for each method? Thank you.
