William Shakespeare - The Twelfth Night
stained glass windows featuring Olivia and Orsino |
 |
 |
This pair of beautiful stained glass windows were discovered in Beaumaris and were in need of some tlc when we first saw them, several pieces of damaged and missing glass needed to be repaired and skillfully re-painted to match the surrounding original pieces of antique mouth blown glass.
Upon researching the history of the windows at the clients request, we discovered that the names hand painted on the windows were that of Olivia and Orsino, two of the main characters from William Shakespeare's play The Twelfth Night, and that Shakespeare's play 'The Twelfth Night' was performed at Beaumaris Castle in the early 1600's.
Perhaps a local stained glass artist of that time designed and made these windows as a commemoration of the performance, or a local dignitary commissioned them to be made.

Above you can see an example of a set of three stained glass windows that were removed from a converted chapel in North Wales for extensive restoration and repair. |
The images show various stages of the restoration and repair work including the damage to the windows before any repair work commenced and during restoration. |
The three stained glass windows were carefully removed from their timber frames and new glass was cut where necessary. Matching the colour and texture. |
The three windows were carefully dismantled, the glass cleaned, re leaded and re-fitted into the timber frames to complete the restoration, ready to last another 100 years. |

This front door stained glass window had two or three major breaks to the glass and several minor cracks before restoration. The window had the broken glass replaced with matching coloured and textured glass and the minor cracks had lead straps soldered over them.
|
The restored stained glass window was then cleaned, cemented, polished, and new copper tie wires attached. The window was then re-fitted into the door using traditional methods and the copper wires were tied onto the refurbished saddle bar to complete the restoration.
|
This pair of double door stained glass windows had been so badly vandalised that there were very few pieces of glass still intact, but fortunately there was sufficient glass and lead remaining to enable us to take a conservation rubbing for the purpose of making new copies.
|
Once restoration had been completed the stained glass windows were cleaned, polished and cemented. wherever possible the new glass was either a colour or texture match for the old glass. The stained glass windows were then re-fitted at a house in North Wales.
