Lead netting consolidation instead of re-coating with lead. Also lead nettings are components of the original.

Also, by way of a proper and professionally executed lead netting consolidation, one can, as a rule, refrain from the often (unfortunately) all-too-quickly demanded re-coating with lead, and regain the necessary stability and durability.

After all, also a historic lead netting ids highly significant to the authenticity of the glass-painting design. Glazing.

EWven heavily-damaged lead nettings ca often be preserved with sufficient patience - particularly if the glass paintings are equipped with a protective glazing. In addition, also the mere replacement of individual lead rods is necessary.

 

Even this severely damaged lead netting could be preserved in the course of conservation.
