Eastlake Stained Glass Panel with Floral Design

Seven feet of glass flowers, and not one needs watering.

This Eastlake stained glass panel with a floral design dates to 1870 – 1890 and is made of stained glass and pine wood. The Eastlake style favored flat, incised ornament and honest construction, and long panels like this were typically set above doors or windows to bring colored light into a room. A half-moon of leaded glass holds pink and red blossoms over scalloped lilac waves, edged in blue and studded with small round jewels. Leafy sprays are incised into the grained yellow wood on either side. Seven feet wide and 19.5 inches high.

Daylight was once treated as a decorating decision.
