The Victorians loved stained glass! This 1880’s Aesthetic Movement window is a beautiful example. They were often placed in stairwells to allow warm colored light to flow down into the hall below, or used as transoms above clear glass windows.
Many houses of the later 19th and early 20th century have beautiful stained or art glass windows – often in need of repair or full restoration. 100+ years of gravity, wind, and human neglect or abuse can leave a window in rough shape. Fortunately, there are skilled craftspeople and artists who can restore them to their original splendor. Your local historic preservation organization often can help you find qualified specialists.
