A Broken Crystal flower with missing piece of the stem needed to be repaired. I asked if they could send in one of the flowers that was not broken to use as a guide . Then I make a new stem and replaced the broke one. In this repair the challange was getting what was left of the stem out with out breaking any leaves.

Antique Glass Repair Bobache from antique crystal chandelier repair

An Antique crystal  chandelier  with a broken bobesche hung for many years at  grama’s house . Grama passed and her grandson sent me the broken crystal  cup. I made a mold of the antique crystal chandelier part so I could make a new one. After blowing a couple blanks I dilled the holes and polished the tops. Antique Glass Repair is very rewarding. Grama’s Antique Crystal Chandelier has a new home. Friends and family try and find the new part .

Chandelier Parts Custom Made

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 Posted in All Repair Projects | Comments Off on Chandelier Parts Custom Made

With one broken bobeche for a pattern I made a mold and duplicated it. He needed two crystal bobeches for an antique chandelier. This part was not available in any place . Restoring antique chandeliers is very rewarding.  I hate to think that if they couldn’t find this part they would have discarded the chandelier.   As you can see with other projects on my site, I can create pieces and parts for different projects.  If you have a question, please feel free to ask me if I can repair it.

Antique Glass Globe Repair

Saturday, November 8th, 2008 Posted in All Repair Projects, Blowen Glass Replacements, Chandelier Repair, Crystal Repair Pictures, Glass Globe | Comments Off on Antique Glass Globe Repair

We were able to restore an old sconce by making a replacement shade for it. This was one of twenty matching lights in a very old home. The painter had broken an antique etched glass globe during the remodeling. Cut glass lamp repair is one of many things I have done over the years. I like the dirty,rusty, broken chandelier restorations the best. Missing parts and broken glass is no problem for our team.
