Restoring Historic Home Entryway

I posted a couple of times showing restoration work in progress on a home built in the early 1900s.  Previous owners had removed the original designed glass panels and put in plain glass in the front door and thermopane windows in the sidelights with the exterior pane of glass being a clear textured glass.  Here is what the entryway looked like before installing the new panels.

In different areas of the home the original glass windows still remain and I wanted to keep the feeling of the original work into the entryway and also adding my own touch to the piece.

Here is the entryway after removing the existing glass and adding in the new panels:

So much better than what was there! It now looks the way the it was intended to be.  I added hand beveled glass and created them in a way that adds more depth, dimension and light play by changing the width of the bevel around the shape.

In looking at the bottom bevels the lower section is narrow and gets wider at the top.  The bevels in the center of the panels are the same width as the widest part on the bottom bevels and the top row of bevels are the reverse from the bottom bevels.  I am very pleased with how these turned out and the clients are ecstatic!
