antique panels used in new waysThe panels in the foreground are closet windows typical of the kind used in old homes to light and ventilate storage areas. They were removed by grandchildren from their grandparent's home before it was torn down. The restored panels now hang in windows of the grandchildren. The 3 panel screen in the background is made up of antique bookcase doors found in the attic of a house that had been remodeled many years ago. Originally part of bookcases alongside the fireplace, these doors are now on display in another part of the house. After making necessary repairs to the glass panels, we also repaired and refinished the original sashes which are now used as frames for the restored panels. Together, the glass and wood colors and textures provide warmth and visual interest in each of their new locations and show how even new or contemporary styled homes can utilize art glass from the past in their interior design plans. |
