How can I tell the age of stained glass?
There are a few different ways to determine the age of stained glass. The style and design, type of glass, and type of beveling and leading used can all provide clues to the age of a stained glass item. Experts recommend working with a certified appraiser or local antique shop to help identify age identifiers. Shop a selection of stained glass windows and decor on 1stDibs.
