Restoring Historical Stained Glass in Davenport
Although not as common household names as “Tiffany”, the work of skilled stained glass artists who learned their craft working for Louis Tiffany, incorporated his methods as glass plating, rose to prominence in the same era. Bovard Studio restored such windows for First Presbyterian Church in Davenport, IA, which demonstrates the elegant use of opalescent glass found in early twentieth century liturgical windows.
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!
