Anyone know a place that can reframe stained glass?

Not sure if that's what it's called but when we replaced our doors last year, I saved the stained glass inserts from both doors. The are so pretty and match my color scheme. i was thinking I could get them framed and put on chairs and hang in the window? I need a place to tell me if that would work or give another idea. But I have no idea where to look. I'm in Massapequa

My mom does stained glass and has a ton in her windows. I think with the frame and the glass it would be super heavy. She adds loops to the metal and hangs it that way. I don't have any pics. Also, adding a frame, you lose a portion of the glass that you won't be able to see. Is it beveled glass around the edges?

There is a stained glass place in amityville on merrick rd. If you are going east, it's on the left hand side right after rt. 110.

It's not beveled...I don't think so anyway, it's in my basement so I can't check at the moment. It has a "frame" around it right now but it's asection of the old door that framed it so it's not a decorative frame. I meant to say in my original post that I was wondering about hanging it from a chain not from a chair.

I guess I would be fairly close to the place in Amityville so I might drive by with it. I'm sure they can give me some ideas. I wish I could install it in the wall I have a spot where it would be beautiful and the light would come through it perfectly but i doubt that's a good idea since DH would probably be so against the idea of spending money to install it. And I don't even know if it's the same kind of item that would be installed. I do have 2 side windows on my bay window that would each accommodate each piece on a chain and look balanced.

Thank you for the responses.

you can also check michaels or ac moore for their custom frames.i dont know if they would go for stained glass but that would be the 'custom' part right? might be worth a try

Besides the place in Amityville, there is another on Smith Street in Farmingdale, east of 110.
