Sister lamp shades
from New Orleans
This set of sister lamp shades came to us after they were caught in a flood and left heavily damaged. The shades were thoroughly cleaned to remove any leftover mud, debris, and oxidation on the solder and brass overlays.
Broken pieces were identified, removed, and replaced; dragonfly heads were reattached and strengthened, and the shades were structurally reinforced.
A coat of patina and polish left them ready for their second (third?) lives!
Early-1900s restoration & partial rebuild
This edges of this antique panel were falling away from the center and a thin border of red glass was nearly gone, just a small section had survived in the corner.
​
The edge pieces were removed and replaced for a uniform repair; the red border pieces were also replaced. Once complete, the entire window was puttied, patinated, and polished.
These are just a few of my favorite restoration projects. If you'd like to see more photos of my repair work, feel free to ask!
