Marc, just received the oil lamp back today, wonderful work for such an old piece, just wish it hadn’t been broken, but your work was magnificent, absolutely professional, it can now join it’s other Sandwich Glass Whale Oil Lamp brothers. Truly enjoyed our conversation days ago, and I sincerely wish you and all your family all the best, a most remarkable accomplishment of which you and your wife should be so proud.

Off the table on to the floor the lamp went with a crash. ” Don’t worry I know a place that does crystal repair. Who  Bruening Glass Works can repair crystal.” Mom was still crying about her lamp but when she called I told her I can repair it.

Waterford Crystal Lamp Repair

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique lamp repair, Broken Decanter Repair | No Comments »

From a pile of pieces come a lamp.  It started with a broke ships decanter she saved for years and then she broke the base to a hurricane lamp . I used the broke Waterford Crystal ships decanter to make a new lamp base. I cut it off and polished the top . I found a piece to an old chandlier and used it along with the old top to the Waterford Hurricane Lamp.  I wish I had the globe to  the lamp.

This lead glass lamp sat on the night stand for decades before it was accidentally broken into pieces. The cut glass pattern on this crystal lamp help hide the glass restoration. There were some minor pieces missing, but we were able to discretely fill those areas. Crystal repair has greatly improved with the new generation of ultra violet cured adhesives that don’t yellow, and are to provide a permanent fix.
