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.

City Hall Stained Glass Restored to Tiffany Standards

, , ,

City Halls across the U.S. are frequent sights for historical stained glass. Look at the beautiful stained glass Bovard Studio restored for Minneapolis City Hall. We restored timeless Ford Brothers Glass Co. windows, including the rotunda window. The multi-plated windows were fully re-leaded in the style of Tiffany stained glass windows. We are honored to provide these windows with stronger protection against the elements for future enjoyment.

Tiffany Windows Reborn at Bovard Studio

Bovard Studio has a track record of restoring historical Tiffany windows, so it came naturally to create a window from scratch to emulate one of Tiffany’s angel windows. This window was custom-designed, built, and installed for St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Salem, VA.

La Farge Window Restoration

Stained glass artists often have distinct techniques that lend to their style. This is especially true in a window Bovard Studio restored for St. Luke’s in East Greenwich, RI where prior to our restoration, their La Farge window had been repaired in a contrasting style.

Restoring Indiana's Stained Glass Trail

Indiana is home to a Stained Glass Trail, of which Bovard has taken part in restoration efforts. Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church is one of the gems on the trail, featuring a complete set of Louise Comfort Tiffany windows. Bovard Studio had the honor of restoring 33 of these stunning works of art for this historical church built in 1906.

Restored Tiffany Windows

A flashback to one of our past restoration projects reveals the splendor of historical windows we had the privilege of handling. Bovard Studio brought to life several Louis C. Tiffany windows for St. Luke’s in Dubuque, Iowa. Note the minimal shading and free-flowing lines, which allow the multi-layered opalescent glass to shine.
