<p>[QUOTE="susie, post: 34532, member: 292"]hi, i am a stained glass artist and to repair something like this is very expensive, as all the original hand painted part were fired after painting to fix the stain. Finding original old glass to repair this is also difficult. Modern glass is made in a different fashion to old glass and looks glaringly different if used to only repair in sections. All of the lead in this window will be rotten and it would not be an economical job if the intent was to sell on. The wooden part will need to be checked for rot and or wood worm- esp if you have a lot of wood in the area this is being stored in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
