Reconditioning an Art-Deco panel

Reconditioning an Art-Deco panel.

Often the lead in old panels can become warped or otherwise damaged, rendering it unusable even if the glass is intact. We can take such a panel apart, clean, re-lead and re-cement it to make it good as new, whilst retaining the beauty and integrity of the old glass.
