This
is a custom design for a residential home. It measures
approxamately 2 feet tall by 4 feet wide and contains
over 172 pieces of hand-cut glass. The center cross
(see detail) has a complex celtic knotwork design
acid etched inside it's 5 pieces.
Due
to the complexity of the border, this window was
created with the Tiffany copper-foil method. Traditional
lead would not have allowed for such flexibility
in the knotwork.
This
window is made up of a mix of waterglass, rough-rolled
glass, and iridized glass which give it a unique
look both in daylight and at light.
The
window is custom framed with a 1-inch painted wood
frame and installed with "L" brackets for easy removal
for cleaning. |
