Gothic Arched Cathedral-Style Stained Glass Sun-Catcher
This is a handcrafted stained glass panel designed in a classic Gothic lancet arch style, typically used as a sun-catcher or window hanging. The piece features a central lattice or diamond pattern of pale, textured glass that possesses a hammered or 'seeded' finish, providing privacy while diffusing light beautifully. The central field is bordered by a vibrant cobalt blue and emerald green band, separated by thin strips of lead or copper foil solder. The construction utilizes the traditional Tiffany-style copper foil method, finished with a dark, uniform patina on the solder lines which suggests a professional level of craftsmanship. It measures approximately 8 to 12 inches in height and is suspended by dual metal chains attached to the uppermost points of the arch. The glass appears to be in excellent condition with no visible cracks, chips, or bowing in the lead-work. While not antique—likely dating from the late 20th century to the present—the design pays homage to medieval ecclesiastical architecture. There are no visible maker's marks, which is common for artisanal studio glass of this type. The play of light through the textured glass indicates high-quality material choices that maximize refractive properties.
