Antique Glass Repair Bobache from antique crystal chandelier repair

An Antique crystal  chandelier  with a broken bobesche hung for many years at  grama’s house . Grama passed and her grandson sent me the broken crystal  cup. I made a mold of the antique crystal chandelier part so I could make a new one. After blowing a couple blanks I dilled the holes and polished the tops. Antique Glass Repair is very rewarding. Grama’s Antique Crystal Chandelier has a new home. Friends and family try and find the new part .

Crystal Repair Broken Stem Glass Repair

Saturday, November 8th, 2008 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Broken glassware, Broken Stem, Crystal Repair Pictures, Glueings | Comments Off on Crystal Repair Broken Stem Glass Repair

This brandy glass has a broken/ shadered stem We replaced the broken with a new stem from a donor glass. The glass was not an exspensive glass but it had a etching that made it sentimental. Glassware repair is a large  part of my work.

Antique Glass Globe Repair

Saturday, November 8th, 2008 Posted in All Repair Projects, Blowen Glass Replacements, Chandelier Repair, Crystal Repair Pictures, Glass Globe | Comments Off on Antique Glass Globe Repair

We were able to restore an old sconce by making a replacement shade for it. This was one of twenty matching lights in a very old home. The painter had broken an antique etched glass globe during the remodeling. Cut glass lamp repair is one of many things I have done over the years. I like the dirty,rusty, broken chandelier restorations the best. Missing parts and broken glass is no problem for our team.
