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.
