We’ve been busy here at Coriander Stained Glass. With only 5 weeks to go until christmas the rush is on to buy presents! Stained glass windows can make a wonderful and unique gift for a loved one and will last year after year after year. Head over to our stained glass portfolio for some ideas.
Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been up to this weekend at Coriander Stained Glass in our Wimbledon shop. Our stained glass artist Will is renovating an orginal Victorian lead light from a home in Earlsfield, London. Here we see that he has stripped the panel of lead, cleaned the old glass, replaced some broken pieces and is now starting to rebuild the panel into a new traditional lead structure. When finished this stained glass lead light will be transformed from a week structure with broken glass to a new strong solid and flat leaded light, re using the old Victorian glass.
Victorian Front Entrance
This is a set of stained glass lead lights fitted today in the front entrance of a Victorian house in Wimbledon Park, the design and coloured glass used copies the original found in the neighbouring houses as closely as possible. The central bird feature is a traditional fired stained glass painting by our in house painter, Margaret. We have worked closely with the client and their builders Nineteen Builders and interior design who had the new door purpose made and fitted.
The stained glass is fitted in the traditional way for this complicated door layout, finished with a putty angle on the inside rather than beading. This is one of several front entrances that we have created or restored in this road in Wimbledon Park, all that remain to be done is for our signwriters Brushstokes, to paint the number on the toplight.
The final outcome is stunning and makes a beautiful addition to this Victorian home.
Check back with us later this week for more of our latest news and projects.
We’ve been busy here at Coriander Stained Glass working on a number of restoration projects. We’d like to share with you these projects for Edwardian and Victorian themed pieces.
Edwardian Front Entrance – SW London
The first stage is to remove the broken glass (it was not the original) from the far panels.
We have made the new panels fitted in this picture. The design copies the original that is still in the neighbouring home, the glass colour used is a mixture of old and new, with the usual red border distinctive of this era, replaced with midnight blue and in the flower petals grape water glass. The background, leaf and bud colours replicate the original, a good mix of old and new that works beautifully.
This picture shows whole new front entrance created from scratch for an Edwardian home in SW19. We have created the stained glass which is based on a local design.
If you are thinking about an Edwardian window for your home, why not take a look at our Edwardian gallery for more ideas.
Victorian Restoration Projects
This is one of two Victorian geometric style top lights delivered to a client in Oxford. The background is a random placement of four pale shades in antique cathedral with the standard ruby red border providing a strong frame.
The above picture shows a completely new Victorian Geometric patterned stained glass front entrance based on the original design for the road in SW19 that we have recently made and installed.
This next picture shows a rebuilt Victorian painted panel. We have stripped this roundel of lead and rebuilt it into a new lead light. We have only replaced the red border and one broken painted border pane.
