Object Description
An antique Victorian late 19th century stained glass window, originally from a church in northern England. Three hand painted detailed flowers, thought to be Tudor Rose, sit at the heart of this piece. It incorporates both ecclesiastical and medieval style, accompanied by its vibrant colours of red, blue, green and yellow.
This Victorian style window would make a stunning feature in a renovated traditional home looking to keep elements of history, or for a sympathetically decorated converted chapel or ecclesiastical building.
How is stained glass made?
The process of making stained glass begins with creating a drawing of the design, first in a smaller version and then a full-sized one known as a cartoon. The next step is cutting solid pieces of coloured glass, before decorating textured glass with enamel paints and using lead or copper frames to hold the glass together.
This traditional method was first recorded in the late 11th century.
