Conrad Schmitt Studios, Inc.

Conrad Schmitt Studios, founded in 1889, provides interior decoration and restoration for buildings of architectural and historic significance, such as the Wang Center in Boston, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah, and the Chicago Hilton. Decorative services include: Investigation/documentation of original design schemes; decorative techniques such as gilding, glazing, marbleizing, stenciling, trompe l’oeil and graining; also, the creation, conservation, restoration and replication of murals, mosaics and other artwork.

CSS also has one of the oldest and largest glass studios in the United States, and it is recognized for outstanding craftsmanship in the creation, conservation and restoration of stained glass. In the 20,000 square foot facility, artisans create, conserve and restore thousands of square feet of glass stained each year, including priceless windows by John LaFarge, Louis Comfort Tiffany and Mayer & Munich.

In addition to stained glass, the firm offers a unique, patented Leptat® etching process that creates a beautiful, crystalline etch to enhance windows, doors and glass walls. Designs can be executed in abstract, symbolic or pictorial designs, and in addition to clear, the glass can be stained, painted or accented with gold leaf. The Studio actively seeks out highly skilled artists and craftspeople from the U.S. and abroad. Many have been trained in the centuries-old traditions of stained glass, decorative painting, sculpture and mosaic. At the same time, our artisans are creative and knowledgeable in the latest techniques as they pertain to execution and application.

For over a century, Conrad Schmitt Studios, Inc., has been working hand-in-hand with owners, interior design firms, consultants, and architects, restoring and creating some of the most ornate and stately interiors in existence. The company has been committed for more than a hundred years to the creation and preservation of the fine arts, which act as a reflection of our culture for future generations.
