Tiffany lamps repaired by Witney Stained Glass
Here is an example of two Tiffany styled lamp which are constructed in the traditional method of copper foiling and soldering. As you can see from the pictures you can see the breaks and cracks.
As long as these Tiffany styled lamps are made in the traditional method (copper foiling) the process becomes a repair in reverse order of making a lamp. Care must be taken when removing any broken sections as you do not want to disturb the lamps construction. Once all the broken and cracked glass sections have been removed glass is then matched up to what had beeen used in the original lamp. Once this has been done you can then repair each section piece by piece making templates as you go along.
Tiffany and Tiffany styled lamps made in the traditional methods of copper foiling are easily repairable with the time and care required to preserve what has once been created.
These two lamps were restored back to its original state with an exact match in glass and a good clean up, much to the pleasure of the customer.
