Art Nouveau/Craftsman Style Stained Glass Transom Window

This item is a stained glass transom window, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, possibly reflecting elements of the Art Nouveau or Craftsman architectural style. The window is rectangular in shape and features a central elongated octagonal panel, filled with a diagonal grid pattern of dark, possibly amber or deep red, glass. This central panel is bordered by a band of dark emerald green glass. On either side of the central octagonal panel, there is a symmetrical design element: a circular motif with a stylized red flower or star shape in its center, surrounded by lighter, possibly yellowish-cream, glass. The outer perimeter of the window is composed of rectangular and trapezoidal pieces of glass in varying shades of light green and yellowish-cream, arranged in a geometric, brick-like pattern. The stained glass is set within a robust lead came framework, which is characteristic of traditional stained glass construction, holding the individual pieces of glass together. The entire panel is then framed by a substantial, dark-stained wooden surround, which appears to be firmly integrated into a larger wooden door frame or architectural opening, suggesting it is a fixed architectural element rather than a removable panel. The wood frame shows signs of age and wear, including some scratching and minor discoloration, consistent with its probable age. No visible cracks or significant damage are apparent in the glass, and the lead came appears intact, suggesting good structural integrity overall. The craftsmanship indicates a handmade piece, typical of artisan work from the period.
