Replacement Glass Globe frosted glass globe with missing piece

Sunday, June 28th, 2020 Posted in Bent Glass, Chandelier Repair, Etched Glass, Glass Globe | Comments Off on Replacement Glass Globe frosted glass globe with missing piece

The frosted glass globe was bumped and broken. A large piece of glass  broke off and was lost. I received the broken glass globe as a pattern to make the replacement globe. I filled in were the piece was missing so I could cast a mold.

The glass was frosted and drill after it was bent. It is a lot easier to make the mold if you have all the pieces.

Custom replacement glass globe for antique light with cut glass design

Friday, May 30th, 2014 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique lamp repair, Bubble Convex Glass, Etched Glass, Glass Globe | 3 Comments »

The replacement globe was very large and had a cut glass design.  We used the old broken glass globe to make a mold used in bending the glass replacement.

 

The replacement convex glass was frosted and the cut glass design was drawn on it.

 

The design is cut in the glass using stones and hand polished.

Antique light custom make replacement globes

The broken globe was sent from Arizona . The contractor broke three globes on the job site while restoring and old court house.  I knew I could make the new globes but matching the design on the globe was going to be the challenge.
