A studio built on more than a century of light.
Chapman Stained Glass Studio, Inc. has created and installed ecclesiastical and secular leaded glass continuously since 1898.
Continuously in operation since 1898.
Few American craft studios can say they’ve been at the bench for more than 125 years. Chapman can.
Over the past century our studio has earned a trusted name in the field, specializing in the repair and restoration of antique and historical stained glass. Our portfolio spans numerous churches, temples, universities, restaurants, private homes and historic buildings throughout New York and New England.
We feel privileged to have been selected to restore works by Louis Tiffany, John La Farge and Franz Mayer — and we bring that same level of care to every window that comes through our doors, whether it’s a cathedral rose or a single transom from a Victorian rowhouse.
Everything a stained glass window needs — under one roof.
Original design
Custom artwork and full-size cartoons developed with your committee or architect.
Fabrication
Hand-selected glass, painting, kiln-firing and traditional lead or copper-foil construction.
Restoration
Documentation, disassembly, cleaning, glass matching and complete re-leading.
Custom frames
New or replicated wood and metal frames built to fit historic openings.
Replacement ventilators
Operable vents rebuilt or replaced for airflow and easier maintenance.
Woodworking & masonry
Sash, sill and surround repairs so the glass sits in a sound, weathertight opening.
Painting
Exterior frame and trim finishing that protects and completes the project.
Protective glazing
Vented laminated glass and polycarbonate systems that safeguard your investment.
Historic windows, new buildings.
When a church closes or a building is renovated, its windows don’t have to be lost.
Chapman has been involved in the adaptive reuse of many historic windows — removing, restoring, resizing and reframing them so they transition seamlessly into new construction. It’s one of the fastest-growing areas of our work, and one of the most rewarding.
If you’re planning new construction or a renovation, allow us to bring our broad experience and long-standing tradition of excellence to your project.
