Fifty Years of Honest Dealing in Antique Glass

Since 1974, Julie and David Vezmar have been finding, repairing, and placing antique American stained and beveled glass windows — and telling people the truth about every one.

Our Philosophy

What You Can Count On

Four commitments we’ve kept since the first window.

Honest Dealings

We tell you what a piece is, what condition it’s in, and what we know — and what we don’t.

We Follow Through

When we make a promise, we keep it.

Period-Appropriate Repairs

Preservation matters. When a window needs repair, we use antique repair glass appropriate to its era.

Never Reproductions

Everything we sell is an authentic antique. No reproductions, ever.

“We’re still curious, still learning. We will share our knowledge, and, perhaps, our passion with you.”

Our History

From Indiana to the Bay Area

Julie and David grew up in Northern Indiana, near Chicago. As a boy, David watched Victorian homes come down during urban renewal — and became fascinated by the period windows and antiques that came out of them.

    A first taste of the antique trade

    After graduating from Indiana University, David profitably liquidated the contents of a rental property and saw the business potential. He bought three stained glass windows in Bloomington — and started asking how to tell authentic glass from reproductions, and how to date it.

    Learning from the experts

    Frustrated by how little reliable information existed, David and Julie (then finishing Purdue’s nursing program) interviewed dealers and collectors. Their first major purchase followed: 108 antique windows, bought on a weekend trip to Ohio.
