Stained glass windows form an integral part of architecture throughout history, adding color and detail to cathedrals, churches, and other historic structures. Besides religious structures, stained glass is a valuable addition to residential and commercial buildings. Windows with stained glass give your home an elegant, timeless look and provide subtle hints of elegance. Stained glass windows of Art déco or antique design can add a sense of sophistication to even the most ordinary setting, as well as a decorative element to be admired from the exterior. Family rooms or living rooms are great spaces to place stained glass windows, for guests to enjoy.
The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a time of brightly colored stained-glass creations in public buildings and homes. It is not surprising that stained glass windows are among the most incredible examples of art in the world. Antique stained-glass windows have left a lasting impression on the art world, influencing European cathedrals of the Gothic style as well as contemporary architecture. Think about the artistry, skill, and creativity involved in creating a stained-glass window the next time you come across an example.
Many shapes and sizes of antique glass windows were used in homes, churches, and other structures from the 1880s to the early 1900s. Beautiful colored glass and handcrafted construction techniques added to the beauty of these windows. Despite their lack of signatures, these windows feature style and quality with a combination of fine glass and the artisan's handiwork. There are many beautiful designs and decorative flourishes in Victorian window designs, often adorned with hand-cut jewels. Along with non-figurative designs, the windows might feature Bible stories, historical accounts, or literary works. Subjects commonly include Christ's life, nature, landscapes, and unique designs.
