Restoration of the Ramon Montaner Manor’s stained glass works

Palau Ramon Montaner, carrer Mallorca 278 de Barcelona.

Va ser dissenyat a l’any 1889 per l’arquitecte Josep Domènech i Estapà. Per bé que la decoració i els acabats, d’estil modernista, foren obra de Lluís Domenech i Montaner.

A l’any 2006 varem tindre l’oportunitat de restaurar part dels vitralls que vesteixen les obertures del palau.

Can Borrell Manor’s gallery

The stained-glass windows and the gallery of the Can Borrell Manor (Castellar del Vallès) are from the reform that was realized in 1912 by the architect Juli Batllevell.

In 1989 we restored them.

We show you images of the gallery and the restoration.

Images of the restoration of one of the sets (Lower and upper pieces) that dress the openings of the gallery.


At the entrance door the window was missing and a reproduction was made following the pattern of the other stained-glass windows. Having material of the time, the piece was almost identical.

The stained-glass windows of the chapel of the manor also went through the restoration process.

Sant Llorenç de la Muga Church leadlights

Sant Llorenç de la Muga is located in the region of Alt Empordà (Girona).
The window of the apse of the nave was completed in 1993 and all other openings in the church, both internal and external, were made in 2002.
The stained glass works were ordered by Mn. Miquel Casteis, rector of the parish.
Our workshop was in charge of design and implementation.
