Decorative Glass Lamp Shade Restoration

See the condition before restoration and the result after the completed intervention.

After restoration

Before restoration: The decorative frosted glass lamp shade was severely damaged, with a large missing section that disrupted its form and prevented further use.

After restoration: Restoration re-established the complete form of the glass, including its complex profiled lower edge, while visually integrating the reconstructed section with the original. The object regained both its aesthetic and functional purpose.

Do you have a damaged glass object? Send us photographs and we will assess the restoration possibilities.

About

Craftsmanship, patience and respect for the original

At Artija, we believe every object carries a story. Our task is not to erase it, but to preserve it — restoring function and beauty while respecting patina and historical integrity.

We combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary conservation approaches, working with metal, wood, stone, plastic and Bakelite. Each project begins with a detailed assessment and treatment proposal.
