Customer salvage ideas

I can’t explain why someone would do this …

… but I hope you enjoy looking at what customers have done with salvaged window panels and doors I have rescued and sent to them. Although I believe original leaded lights should be maintained within the original properties I am pleased that they can at least be reused in the following ways.

Carla – North Carolina, USA.

What I like about the above photo is the contrast between new and old. Carla has mounted the window sashes exactly as I sent them – she has not repainted the frames. She also chose an art deco design which I think suits the linear arrangement of everything in the room.

Colin from Hitchin “I thought you might be interested to see how I used the piece of leaded stained glass I recently purchased from you. The oak door is original to the house and dates from 1926 and I have removed the top section of the door to let in the leaded light. The hall is now much less gloomy. I attached the stained glass to a frosted glass double glazed panel using bathroom translucent sealant before installing using offcuts from the bit of door I removed and sealant.”

Mike Bennett – Marple Bridge near Stockport

Mike says: “…looking as if it hasn’t been touched for 100 years. And that is a comment from a neighbour. Several people – some strangers have complimented the result.”

This window was from somewhere in the north of England and now in a rustic Latino setting! Josias’s home in Brasil, State of Minas Gerais. This is why I love dealing in reclaimed glass – selling to someone in the world who appreciates!
