Walnut Creek Glass Panels

Residential Conservation

Materials: fused clear textured glass, reddish-orange sheet glass, blown glass roundels, housed in a lead matrix, enamel paint

The five custom designed panels arrived at Nzilani’s studio for cleaning, glass rejoining, and structural reinforcement after being in storage for twenty years. All broken glass was cleaned and rejoined using museum-grade epoxy. New glazing putty, darkened to match the tone of the original, was applied. Nzilani made adjustments to the frames, and created customized solutions to fit the client's doors.
