stained glass conservation

Stained glass conservation involves carefully preserving and repairing old or damaged stained glass windows to maintain their beauty and historical value. Experts assess the condition of the glass, identifying issues like cracks, fading, or corrosion. They clean the glass gently, repair broken sections, and stabilize loose lead or solder joints. Conservation techniques prioritize using reversible methods and materials compatible with the original artwork, ensuring the window's integrity and appearance are restored while respecting its historical significance. The goal is to prolong the life of these masterpieces for future generations to appreciate.
