Where were these windows originally installed?

Many of these panels came from domestic homes, public buildings, and churches, serving as exterior windows, interior transoms, or feature doors. Over time, many were salvaged during property alterations to be repurposed as decorative wall art or internal room dividers.

How do I hang a heavy glass panel?

Due to the weight of the lead and glass, panels require secure fixing points into solid timber framing or structural wall studs. Using specialised steel hanging chain attached to the outer frame ensures the weight is distributed evenly without stressing the lead cames.

Can these windows be used outdoors?

Most antique panels were designed for interior settings or protected exterior positions, as historic lead cames can soften over decades of harsh weather. Placing them behind modern secondary glazing protects the fragile painted surfaces and older leadwork from environmental damage.

How do I identify the period of a panel?

Stylistic clues such as floral motifs, painted figural styles, and the thickness of the lead cames point towards specific eras like the Victorian or Edwardian periods. Design movements like Arts and Crafts or Art Nouveau also leave distinct visual signatures in the geometry and subject matter.
