Antique Hardman & Co Ecclesiastical Stained Glass Window of Kings

About the Item

An antique ecclesiastical stained glass window depicting a group of kings in various positions. Competently painted, this dramatic stained glass window dates to 1889, once a part of an impressive larger window named 'Epistle for All Saints Day' reclaimed from the south transept of All Saints Emscote church, Warwick. The top panel of this pair depicts a scene of a striking group of kings with text surrounding them. The other displays a figure playing a harp while a depiction of himself sleeps below. The inscription at the foot of the window reads 'there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse & a branch shall grow out of his roots.' This is just one of eight stained and hand painted panels that once made this striking church window. Now a stunning and detailed interior feature, the vivid colours of this panel would look striking flooded with daylight in a traditional home, a sympathetically decorated converted chapel or ecclesiastical building. An original brass tablet that sat below the window read 'A.M.D.G (Ad Moiorem Dei Gloram) and in memory of George Nelson of the Lawn in this Parish, who departed July 17th 1850, and of Sarah his wife who was called hence Dec 14. 1865, the transept windows of this church are filled with stained glass, as a tribute of affection, by their sons.' Hardman & Co Renowned makers Hardman & Co made Birmingham a popular spot for stained glass operating between 1838 and 2008 as a world-leading stained-glass manufacturer. Founder John Hardman led the company to be one of the country’s leading manufacturers in the 19th and 20th century. They went on to create windows for churches and houses all over the world. Most of the company's windows were made for buildings in Britain and Ireland. Many also went overseas to countries which were then part of the British Empire such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India. Others also went to the USA. Some windows went to churches in big cities while others went to tiny settlements. Many of Hardman & Co's records and designs are now divided between the Library of Birmingham and Birmingham Museums Trust. The Epistle for All Saints Day was returned to the Hardman's and company workshop when the church was demolished in 1967. In 1968 the panels were bought by Darrell Buttery direct from the vicar of All Saints. Additional dimensions Top panel (kings) - Height 111.5cm x width 50cm x depth 1cm. Weight 10kg.
