WITRAŻE s.c. Studio specialize in the restoration, conservation and repair of glass and ceramics.

We have long experience working with objects of historical value as well as the contemporary ones. Every project is treated with equal care, whether a rare antique treasure or a personal object with only a sentimental value (souvenirs, family heirlooms). We have served private individuals, collectors, museums, other institutions and foundations. Our conservator has knowledge of technology, historical styles and the chemistry of materials used to make and mend any type glass and ceramic of item.

We are using modern technologies and advanced equipment. Our repairs are done with quality adhesives such as epoxy resins. Resins can be tinted to match the glass colour and texture and they have a same refractive index to glass. This makes joints less noticeable, especially on cut glass and crystal.
