Matching new door/window to existing ones?

My partner and I have just completed on a house purchase. The house was built in the early 1930's. It has a wooden door with stained glass in, and a decorative window by the door with the same pattern.

The windows in the house have all been replaced with upvc double glazing, with the same pattern as is in the door.

We would like to replace the door with a composite one (for both security and heat reasons!), and would also like the window next to it to be upvc double glazed. I would really really like to match the pattern, as I think it's really nice.

Does anyone know where we can find matching windows?

I tried to get hold of the supplier of the replaced windows, but it appears they may have gone out of business.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions!

    The people that supply the door/wndow will be able to match up the existing pattern. Thay just use a stick on lead type tape and and therefore can doa ny pattern you request.

    You will be better going to a local supplier for this, rather than a national one.
