This lovely simple design is called a boxed quarry. The glasses are a mix of new and vintage textured glasses to blend in with the existing fanlight. Although a traditional Victorian design it can really look very contemporary...

Art Deco Style!
It's always great to work with customers' ideas and transform them into something beautiful. For this commission the customers knew roughly the type of look they wanted, something Art Deco and dramatic! They had the great idea of using electric tape, easy to remove / play around with, to indicate lead lines on their existing door...
A few aspects of the design were changed as the pieces were quite large and not ideal for art glass and a few embellishments were added.
Glasses used were a mix of old and new glasses and chosen specifically for their light catching properties and subtle shades of amber.

Transformation!
It's always a pleasure to work on the beautiful houses in New Cross, London. The work consisted of a new door set of panels with fanlight above and separately a dining room fanlight.

Sparkle
I recently completed this job for a glazing company. The brief was to make new fanlights to match the door panel and original panels elsewhere in the house. Also to restore an existing side panel and make the set 'work' as a whole. Using my contacts I was able to source the original background glass which is no longer made and had in stock good matches to the other glasses.
