Is it possible to decrease the size of 2 finished pieces?

Those windows are stunning. I don't know if they can be re-sized to fit the existing space. I recommend you talk to a leaded window pro. It would be a shame to cut them and ruin them. Again, just beautiful.

Oh wow! Those are gorgeous pieces! Certainly worth what you paid for them. I believe it is possible - BUT - it would take disassembling both pieces and "playing" with the design arrangement to showcase it properly. I would rely on the expertise and opinion of a qualified artisan to do this work for best results. Have you looked for anyone in your area yet?

I would definitely seek out a stained glass artist to help you rework to the new size.

Just about anything is possible but you would be destroying the design that you bought and it would probably cost much more than you already have invested to have them redone and then in the future you may have a window they would fit perfectly! I suggest hanging them so they are side by side in the window you do have. Yes, an inch or two would hang over on the window frame sides and also the top and bottom of the window. You might need help in determining how to hang them safely.

Frame the window out with wood the size that you need. A few years ago I

bought 4 similar windows that are framed. We screwed heavy hooks into the sides and hung them on our back porch. The morning light shines thru

them and they look amazing. They have been hung there for more than 4 years with no problems. Good luck. Marian

I had a meaningful large piece like this, but with colored glass that needed repair. (Leading can sag with advanced age.) In ND I paid $1000.00 to have it redone and the wood frame replaced. The other quotes I got were $2500.00 and up for the repair. I'd have them framed in wood and hang them in front of the window. Or, image a window with multiple panes - make it larger by building a window with multiple panes and use this piece for the center pane.

I would reframe the window before redoing the panes.

Thanks

It would be very costly. I have a few pieces that I've made and instead of installing into a window, I have them hanging directly in front of them. That way you can always move them and take with you. You just need a couple of loops soldered on the top of the leaded windows.

I had a stained glass business for many years before i retired. these panels are to lovely to dismantle and it will be costly as it is much easier to make than repair. I would frame them and hang them in front of your window.

Yes, fame as is and hang them in front of a window. One caveat. If you live in earthquake country like I do, I would secure them both top and bottom so the won’t swing too wildly in the event of a quake. I have been through two major quakes in my lifetime and I wouldn’t want the glass piece to crash against the window with force.

those windows look like the inside of a piece of exterior door glass that will work you need to use sikaflex caulking the same kind used for car windshields very strong stuff hope this helps

I also do stained and leaded glass work. I agree you won’t want to pay to have these modified.

I’m confused what your price, cross posting and location have to do with this forum. This is for Help not Sales.

Hi Julie, is there a way you can build a frame that will hold both? You can make it so it overlap the opening, so you don't need to try to trim the stained glass pieces, Use a light weight wood, which could hold them both together. Essentially, they will cover the opening you are working with.

Tearing them apart and redoing the lead came makes no sense but can be done. Expensive work as it is time consuming. Better to modify the frame you want to put them in than to modify the glass. Hang the second one in front of a window that you have framed so you can add hooks or chain. The frame is necessary as any thing you add to the lead came will stretch with heat like sunlight and fall to the floor.
