Tiffany Lamps & Stained Glass Panels Blog

Lately I have been reading more and more of old buildings removing their stained glass panels in order to restore them and reinstall them back in the window frame. This is actually a very dangerous move which can result in the breakage for the glass window. Depending on the restoration that is needed most work can be completed on the stained glass while it is still installed in its location. This will reduce the chance of breakage which can result from trying to remove the panel from the window, repairing, then reinstalling. If you have any question on whether a stained glass panel can be fixed in place or not contact an expert in stained glass windows and get a consultation on the matter.

The largest known Tiffany stained glass dome in the world is located at the Chicago Cultural Center is reopening for the public after a large restoration project intended to bring the art glass back to its original glory.

The glass was installed into the center in 1897 and over the year’s dirt and grime had dulled the bright colors on the 38-foot wide dome ceiling. Over 30,000 pieces of glass and 243 stained glass panels were removed and carefully cleaned in this $3 million project.

If you find yourself in the Chicago area on your summer vacation take the time to visit this stained glass dome, the sheer size and beauty will amaze you as no photo of the structure can.

Many know of and give credit to Louis C. Tiffany for his masterpieces in stained glass, which came from his studio in New York. Yet few realize that his plant manager, Arthur J. Nash actually played a large part in that art coming to life in the form of blown glass and stained glass panels. Nash had worked for the Thomas Webb glasshouse in England and upon coming to New York met Tiffany and the two formed a company, Tiffany Furnaces.

It was Tiffany Furnaces, which produced the gorgeous opalescent glass, which Tiffany worked with to create his stained glass windows and Tiffany lamps. Even Tiffany himself did not know the chemistry behind the coloring of the glass, and few did since this was a closely guarded secret. Without Arthur Nash you have to wonder if Louis Tiffany would have been as great at the art of stained glass as he turned out becoming.

I believe one of the more interesting stained glass panels that All Things Tiffany has added to the ever-growing line of art panels on their site is the Bear Tracks window. This unique stained glass window depicts two bear prints on a 17.5×26.5 art panel, and would look exceptionally good in a cabin type setting with a rustic outdoor appearance. This stained glass window truly breaks away from the traditional bright colors and beautiful images, which are typical in stained glass and goes a different route with subtle images of bear tracks on a earth toned panel.

One of the latest additions to the stained glass panels line at All Things Tiffany is the Dolphin Dance Window. This stained glass window depicts two dolphins swimming together in a beautiful blue sea in a 15.5”x22.5” art glass panel. This is just one of the many new stained glass windows which have been added to the ever growing line of panels at All Things Tiffany. As always our customer service will help you with all of your stained glass panel needs if you have any questions or do not see a window that fits your needs.
