About the Item

1880s stained glass church window by William Reith, born 1844, Germany arriving in America in 1867 establishing a studio in Philadelphia. The panel is a portion of a larger window depicting the painted feet of a saintly figure amongst a lush garden scene. This work is saturated in rich, jewel toned colors which emanate throughout a room bringing much warmth and beauty while evoking one's imagination. William Reith was one of the most celebrated stained-glass masters of his time and this special item is a rare opportunity. A magnificent and captivating piece great as a transom or decoration. Signed in the lower left, "Wm Reith, Phila." (Last photo).
