 We restored this stunning piece dating back to the late 1850s. A rare and valuable architectural treasure. 

While the owner was initially drawn to its intricate design and vibrant colors, she didn’t realize the transformative impact the restoration would have—not just on the window but on her home’s overall value. 

Once restored, this gem added as much equity as a brand-new kitchen, but at a fraction of the cost. 

It’s easy to imagine this pair of windows hanging above the entrance of a chateau, or winery, greeting customers at the turn of the 1900’s.  These windows are classic Art Nouveau in the Tiffany style, prominent between 1890-1910. 

This stunning set measures a combined 6.5' x 2.7' (~17 sq ft).  With their rich colors and timeless details, they make a dramatic focal point in any retail space or residence. 

We partially restored them using zinc came and historic reproduction stained glass to maintain the integrity of the design for  another 100 years. 

When they came in, though, it was a different story. 

This stained glass window looks like a rockhound’s treasure — glowing with shades of green malachite, purple agate, golden citrine, and red jasper. Its Victorian-style design, textured glass and rich colors bring a calm, elegant warmth to any room.

When the window first arrived at the studio, it seemed like a simple repair — just two new panes, a fresh zinc frame, and a bit of rebar for support. But when I lifted it from its frame, that illusion quickly vanished. With the faintest sigh of relief, the window gave way, revealing just how fragile time had made it.

You'd never know this was an Art Nouveau style of window the way it came into the studio--a mangled mess of broken lead and jumbled pieces of glass. We were able to make sense of the design and restored this quirky window. It now has the strength to preserve its beauty from the past, through the present, and well into the future.

Frank Lloyd Wright, the founder of the Prairie School of architecture, left an indelible mark with his groundbreaking designs. Calling Wisconsin home, he designed over 40 unique buildings in the state.

Though his designs may appear deceptively simple, they are masterpieces of thoughtful craftsmanship. If you come across one, it’s absolutely worth the investment to restore it—it’s an opportunity to preserve a piece of architectural history.

A pair of leaded beveled glass panels—totaling 22 square feet—were salvaged from a building just before it was torn down. Originally framed by antique clear glass, many of the surrounding pieces shattered during removal. Miraculously, almost all the handmade antique bevels at the center survived intact.

 This elegant oak-framed, leaded diamond glass design was a signature feature of Tudor-style homes from the late 1800s to the early 1900s in the U.S. and the UK. 

The owner opted to preserve the window within its original oak frame, requesting only the replacement of three damaged leaded glass pieces. 

The repair not only revived the window’s charm but also extended its lifespan by decades. 

A couple bought a charming old farmhouse and set out to restore its original beauty while adding the modern touches we all love—think open spaces and cozy comforts. To brighten things up and create a more open feel, they installed beveled lead glass transoms over every door in the house.

For one space, they sourced an antique window measuring roughly 44” x 16” and we rebuilt it to fit a precise opening of 39.75” x 16.5”. Adjusting century-old bevels from the late 1800s to meet modern specifications was no small task, but the result was a perfect blend of historical craftsmanship and contemporary functionality.

It’s such a beautiful way to marry the elegance of the past with the functionality of modern-day living. What a stunning result!

 This intricate geometric pattern is a hallmark of Victorian windows from 1860 to 1900. Over time, the aging lead weakened under pressure, causing multiple panes to crack and break. 

As an architectural feature, it naturally draws the eye and elevates the overall look of the room or space. Now that it's repaired, this timeless design will enhance the light in any room without being overwhelming or intrusive.
