Gold Leaf
A WARM NOTE THAT BREATHES
I use gold when a piece asks for quiet warmth. The base color changes the mood; I work in every color, though white-and-gold is most requested because it lives easily with many interiors.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Where the leaf meets an opening, light can pool and reflect back—a private conversation between viewer and piece.
Restoring Historic Luxfer Prism Transoms
Luxfer glass transoms were typically installed in the upper registers of windows in both industrial and commercial spaces. These ribbed, 4-inch square sheets of glass used refraction to illuminate large, deep spaces with natural light.
New Bern downtown architects and builders installed many of these to capture the natural light before electric lights were invented. Michaelé has restored four of these glorious turn-of-the-century works of art.
Restoring a Historic Transom
We specialize in stained glass repairs and restoration of stained glass patterns or scenes. Storms, dirt, neglect, and other factors, as well as the simple passage of time, all play a part in wearing stained glass. With proper color matching and careful attention to detail, chips, cracks, missing panes, and other problems can be repaired.
As experienced stained glass repair artists, we can carefully make these replacements and restore the strength and beauty of your piece or pieces of stained glass
