How do I hang a stained glass panel?

Suspend heavy glass panels securely using chain or wire fixed directly to structural window frames or wall studs. Avoid relying solely on decorative latches or light brass brackets. Ensure the weight of the lead matrix distributes evenly across the hanging fixings to prevent bowing over time.

How do I clean leaded glass windows?

Wipe the glass gently using a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemical solvents that might damage painted enamel surfaces. Inspect the lead cames regularly for movement and clean around the soldered joints with caution.

What defines the Gothic Revival style?

Gothic Revival pieces utilise pointed arches, lancet shapes, and ecclesiastical motifs inspired by medieval architecture. This style emphasises vertical lines and solemn religious iconography. In glasswork, this translates to deep colours, heavy lead outlines, and subjects drawn from heraldry or scripture.
