Stained glass skylight repair

We live in an 1879 brownstone in Fort Greene. The house has an original stained glass skylight. It has a few small glass pieces broken. Can anyone please recommend an artisan or company that could replace the small broken fragments? Thank you

Hey Adevenyi, a friend of mine had to repair a stained glass feature in her Brownstone. She used https://www.scottishstainedglass.com/ and they did a beautiful job. They specialise in antique glass restoration.

I emailed Ernest and his son confirmed that he did in fact retire. Bummer. The good news is that his son Ernie also does stained glass and is in the middle of building out a new glass studio. He said for now, email is the best way to reach him: eporcelliart@gmail.com I realize this might not help you on your current project, a few folks in the community might like to know. Ernie Jr. took on-site measurements for my project with Ernest, and he’s super friendly.

Oh bummer. Yeah it’s possible he retired. Or maybe just killed his landline and didn’t update his website. It’s a good excuse for me to walk over to Industry City and see. I’ll keep you posted if I learn anything. Another place I looked into (b4 deciding on Porcelli) is on 3rd Ave and 16st. http://www.sunburststudio.com

He was probably making these windows when they first went in as the houses were being built.

Hmm, maybe he retired—Porcelli must be ALMOST as old as me 🙂

@BobMarvin and @rd684 : Thank you for the recommendation. I tried calling Ernest Porcelli’s number as listed on his website, but it was disconnected. Does anybody know if he is still in business and if yes, what is his phone number? Thank you

If you wouldn’t mind, I’d love to see a photo of the stained glass skylight. I’ve got a skylight in a similarly-aged/located building that’s long been missing its stained glass and I’d love to see what should have gone there…

FWIW Ernest Porcelli repaired one of my skylights >40 years ago and seems to still be in business.
