Geometric Lattice Leaded Stained Glass Panel
This is a square, decorative leaded stained glass panel featuring a geometric lattice or 'quilt' design. The construction utilizes small, square-cut glass tiles joined by thick lead cames (the metal framework). Physically, the panel is composed of three distinct glass colors: a centralized ruby red diamond motif made of 16 tiles, surrounded by a border of frosted or milk-white opal glass tiles, and an outer perimeter ring of red tiles against a light blue or lavender translucent background. The overall pattern creates a nested diamond-within-a-diamond effect. The lead lines are thick and consistent, typical of early to mid-20th-century craftsmanship. One notable feature is the varying opacity of the glass; the red glass is more saturated, while the white glass has a subtle variegation common in opalescent glass. Condition-wise, the lead framework shows a dark, aged oxidation (patina), and there are visible signs of wear along the outer edges where the panel met a frame. A few of the glass segments appear to have slight hairline fissures or stress cracks common in older leaded pieces, though the structural integrity remains intact. The style is reminiscent of Prairie School or late Victorian geometric designs, likely dating between 1910 and 1940. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures, suggesting it was likely a customized architectural insert rather than a mass-produced item. The craftsmanship is high, with uniform soldering at the lead junctions.
