    Default Shellac used in leadlight

    Does anyone know if and how shellac was used in leadlight cabinets as a display feature.

    A bit more info on what your asking might be in order. As reading your question it can be interpretured a couple of different ways. Of course shellac was used in leadlight cabinets but are you refering to the leadlight panels or the timber work?

    I mean the leadlight panels. There are two pieces of glass placed on top of each other and in between the glass there is this substance which has been said to be shellac. It usually starts at the top of the glass panel a very pale yellow and then deepens to a darker yellow/orange colour towards the bottom of the panel. It was used as a decorative feature between the two pieces of glass.
