We have five crystoleums (one large, 4 small) in the family; we believe they were painted by a great grandmother, approx 1910. Can these be restored? They are quite faded and one has a crack in the glass. We would like them to be resored so they can passed down in the family.

hmm—quite interesting, would love to actually see a workshop for this. i think combining crystoleum with the huge breadth of art possibilities today, would make for something exciting.
