What affects the price
— Panel size. Bigger panels use more glass and lead, and need heavier reinforcement.
— Design intricacy. The number of individual glass pieces drives cutting and leading time more than area does.
— Glass selection. Machine-rolled glass is affordable; hand-made, flashed and imported art glass costs several times more.
— Repair vs new vs restoration. In-situ repairs are cheapest, while faithful period restoration is skilled, slow work.
— Installation. Fitting into doors, removing sashes or working at height adds to the studio price.
Tips before you post
— For period homes, restoring original leadlight almost always adds more value than replacing it.
— Ask whether the panel will be cemented and reinforced — it's what keeps large leadlights rigid for decades.
— Consider safety glass backing on door panels; some states require it for glazing in doors.
