The rearrangement of ancient glass and the removal of subsequent additions and repairs is not encouraged, as the arrangement of the glass prior to conservation is part of its history, and intrinsically worthy of preservation Rearrangement such as right-siding reversed glass is usually only carried out if the integrity of the overall arrangement is not seriously jeopardized. Speculative and gratuitous rearrangements have destroyed a significant amount of historic evidence and must be avoided. The reconstruction of lost.
