~ Large Etched Front Door ~

Another presentation of a tub of broken pieces of glass.

A 5′ x 2.5′ plate glass window, deeply etched with a complex Victorian design, had been caught by the wind during house renovations, and had smashed into hundreds of pieces.

All of the other doors in the terrace has been replaced over the years. Fortunately, one other original door survived intact. I was able to take a rubbing of the patternwork, then make up the jigsaw of pieces to make sense of the problem before me.

Deep grooved etching in a industrial sand blast machine, followed by detailed enamel and kiln work, to finally produce an exact replica of the broken door.
