I have a customer who contacted me with a request for a simple design that was typical of glass in the period her home was built. She had the door restored by a carpenter who meticulously took the door apart, inserted the leaded glass into the openings, and put the door back together.Sometimes the appropriate design is not an elaborate, expensive design. But, it does have to fit the era if that is what the customers goal is.
You will often see colored blocks of glass surrounding clear plate glass. Although simple in nature, it truly enhanced their refurbished door and added a lot of color to the entrance of their home.
She was thrilled when the door was finished, the glass was installed, and she could hang her refurbished door back into in her home.
