Two broken 1900s British panels found their way through my doors. Did I mention I have restored so many of these stained glass panels I have lost count?
Do you see how these panels are bending right through the center? Plus the yellow glass has been discontinued as so many hand-made textures of colored glass. So, how to fix both issues … I repositioned the textured yellow reed glass to stop the bending and added a 1900s hammered yellow textured glass from this same period in time to fill in the border gaps.
The results: design issue is resolved, hammered yellow added to the border is correct, and both panels are framed in wood. Good to go for another 100 years.
