A decorative pair of early 20th-century leaded stained glass windows, originally from Glasgow, Scotland, dating to around 1900–1910.
Each window features a symmetrical Art Nouveau design formed from flowing leadwork, with blue, green, amber and red coloured glass set amongst larger sections of textured amber-toned glass. The combination of geometric structure and stylised organic forms is characteristic of the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau period.
The windows retain their old timber frames and have a particularly good aged appearance. At 118 cm high, they are substantial architectural pieces and would work well incorporated into an interior, used as internal windows or displayed decoratively where natural light can illuminate the coloured and textured glass.
The Glasgow provenance is particularly interesting given the city’s importance to Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau design at the turn of the 20th century. While the windows are not attributed to a particular designer or workshop, their design sits comfortably within the wider Scottish Art Nouveau tradition of the period.
Sold as a pair.
