How do I hang a window panel?

These architectural pieces require secure support around their timber frames or lead edges to bear the weight safely. Hanging them in front of an existing light source maximises the effect of the coloured glass. Professional fixings attached to the window reveal or wall studs ensure the salvage remains stable. Avoid relying on the lead cames alone to bear the suspension load.

What periods do these panels come from?

The listings on this page include pieces from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, extending into nineteen thirty Dutch folk art examples. Dates range across the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Stylistic markers such as Arts and Crafts or Art Nouveau aesthetics help indicate the specific decade of production.

What designs appear on the glass?

Common motifs include hand painted countryside scenes, birds on branches, flowers, and fruit. Some panels feature specific subjects like lifeboats or Dutch boys and girls. Other examples utilise abstract configurations, including square panes and clear or amber bullseyes.

Are the frames made of wood?

Many panels retain their original timber surrounds, frequently constructed from pine wood. These wooden frames provide structural rigidity to the leaded glass matrix. Some items circulate as unmounted panels, requiring custom framing depending on where they are installed.
