Antique Glass Chandelier Broken Crystal Arms

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 Posted in All Repair Projects, Chandelier Repair | 1 Comment »

The movers broke several antique crystal arms on this Chandelier .The Chandelier was very dirty and rusty . The pins through the prisms had gotten wet and rusted. Repairing antique glass arms was the easy part.Cleaning and rewiring was the time consuming  part. I used white cloth covered wire per original . The clear plastic wire is less noticable but I like to keep  as authentic as possible .  Two of the strands of prisms were missing  I got lucky and had old ones in stock. I disassembled ,cleaned the glass and polished  the chrome pieces. When moving antique glass chandeliers they should be taken apart to relocate. We installed the restored chandelier in the dinning room .

Venetian Glass Repair

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 Posted in Glueings, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Venetian Glass Repair

We received the Venetian glass  figurines” blue couple “via mail.  When they came in I didn’t know if I had all the pieces. In the past, I have worked on many venetian clowns that have needed hands heads and balloons so I was sure I could restore then to original condition.  However, as you can see below, I was able to restore the piece to it’s original state.

We  were challenged to repair this badly broken sculpture brought in by a customer.  It was brought to us in many pieces.  The biggest hurdle of this project was to make it look like it was brand new and wasn’t repaired.  We implemented a new design element that used blue cobalt to meet the customer’s expecations.  Please see the repair gallery below.
