Words like 'classic' and 'timeless' are bandied around a lot to describe stained glass, that's because there is a huge back catalogue of Victorian / Edwardian designs from the days when whole estates were built with stained glass in every door. From this extensive range of geometric, floral, Art Nouveau, symmetrical, asymmetrical designs we copy / adapt street patterns or period styles to suit customer preferences. Most of the time it's very easy to name the period the style is from, however this style is one that surprises, being Victorian but with a very modern, contemporary feel. If anyone knows the origin of this pattern (is it Greek, Roman, Islamic?) please do get in touch.
For this job we used some bright coloured glasses for the borders around the roundels (including starburst and ripple) and a softer more muted background palette with textural shift.
