Louis Tiffany’s masterpiece, The Good Shepherd, was exhibited in the 1893 at the World Columbian Exhibition and contains some of the finest glass produced by his company. This window was purchased in 1896 by Judge D. N. Cooley’s family and was installed as a memorial to him and his wife at St. Luke’s Church. Bovard Studio was selected to restore this historic Tiffany in 2002.
Bovard Windows Stand the Test of Time
Bovard Studio frames and protective coverings for stained glass stand the test of time. Look at the windows today that we restored and protected with glass protective covering for St. Andrews Roman Catholic Church in Roanoke, VA 15 years ago! Stained glass is most often viewed from the interior, but with high quality materials, they can be enjoyed from the exterior as well. Traditional stained glass windows often suffer from yellowing plastic protective coverings that obscures their beauty and intricacy and can be a symptom of other structural failure. We encourage you to contact us for a free consultation if you find yourself in this very predicament!
