Restoration Victorian door /Brighton East Sussex BN1

After a long period of time stained glass entrances need some attention, specially the main door panels, the use of the door along with its contact with the elements make the lead structure to decay. We striped and rebuild the main door panel is this traditional Victorian entrance in a house in Brighton, East Sussex, Uk
Several pieces of glass broken, bowed panel, broken solder joints and unattached from the bars which keep it straight.
The challenge on this project was to match the broken panes of glass.

Location: Brighton BN1, UK
