Object Description
A late 19th century antique stained glass window panel depicting Vulcan, God of fire and the forge, one of 3 similar we are selling depicting notable figures of Greek and Roman mythology.
This vibrant piece was previously owned by Seymour Stein – music executive and co-founder of Sire Records, who launched the careers of Madonna, Talking Heads, and the Ramones.
At the centre is a distinguishable illustration of Vulcan, surrounded by shells, flowers, and other detailed patterns. It is a stunning and detailed interior feature inspired by Roman mythology.
Roman God Vulcan
Vulcan is the Roman and Greek god of fire and the forge, and mythical inventor of smithing and metal working. He is the son of Jupiter and Juno, husband of Venus, and is considered to be one of the twelve Olympians.
Olympus, the dwelling place of the gods, is thought to have been built by him. Vulcan is also believed to have made the thunderbolts of Zeus, weapons of Hercules, and the armour of Achilles.
