1905 Stairwell Window

This oversized window, for the landing of a two-tier stairwell in an historic home, measures 59 1/2 " X 72 ".  Since the window was missing when the owner bought the house, I was commissioned to re-create it from existing photographs.  The central scene is hand-painted and kiln-fired and then leaded into the architectural  design. The window consists of three panels which are 'stacked' one on another with meeting joints. Horizontal reinforcement bars and external brass fins will  keep this window in its vertical plane for many years. The glass is primarily Kokomo Opalescent Glass.
