Lighting Restoration
Report
Plenty of people can cut glass. Bend it? That's a different story. We bend glass for lamp panels (sometimes called slag glass lamp panels), window sash, china cabinet doors, display cases, clock faces, picture frames and so on. You can trust Curran Glass Studio to create replacement pieces for your most precious glass lampshades.
Furniture & Window Bends
Report
Don't throw out that antique china cabinet just because the glass in the door is missing! We can bend simple (radius bends) and complex pieces (S-bends, J-bends) for cabinet doors, clock faces, picture frames, display cases and more. To do it, we need either a good piece to work from, an accurate template of the curve, or the frame/door the glass fits into.
Hand Beveling
Report
In glass, there are few things more stunning that a hand-beveled leaded panel sparkling in the sun, throwing rainbows around a room. We make bevels by hand in our studio, on restored production hand-beveling equipment. You won't find those run-of-the-mill "bevel clusters" here.
Hand beveling is a painstaking, time-consuming process, starting from roughing out the pieces on the diamond (or cast iron with emery) wheel and proceeding through stone wheel smoothing, to cork and pumice, to a final polish on the felt wheel with cerium oxide.Whenever we can, we bevel old plate glass salvaged from antique mirrors that have been stripped of their silvering.

Custom Leaded Glass

A comment we hear over and over again from our customers is this: "My new leaded glass looks like it's been in my home since the day the house was built." It's true--we take great pains to create designs that look like they belong where you put them. And with our incomparable inventory of glass and jewels, we can make it happen.
Leaded Glass Restoration

It is especially rewarding to restore failing leaded glass windows to their original splendor. Not only do we have the expertise to understand and execute the best procedures for repairing art glass panels that are broken, buckled, leaking or loose, but we also stock all the necessary materials so that we can offer our customers prompt attention.
