Antique glass globe repair with missing pieces
April 3rd, 2011 by Marc Konys - posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Antique lamp repair, Glass Globe, GlueingsThe” gone with the wind oil lamp” has been in the family for many years . Some one broke it and lost some of the pieces. This make the restoration of the glass globe very difficult. First we reassembled the the pieces we had leaving a large hole that needed to be filled. Casting a mold off of the antique globe we were able to make a new curved white opal glass to fill the hole.
