About the Item

A large antique late 19th century stained glass panel depicting an allegorical classical maiden, thought to be the goddess Nyx, in the manner of Stephen Adam & Son, Glasgow. The panel depicts the figure clad in a diaphanous robe with long curling hair and an oil lamp raised in her left arm, standing on a step, amongst lilies and flowering foliage, drapery to the upper corners, a sickle moon to the night sky. This stained glass window stands at over 4ft tall, making an impressive feature window in any property seeking a flourish of beautiful colour and contemporary artistry. Provenance The artist Stephen Adam (British, 1846-1910) established his studio in Bath Street, Glasgow, in 1870. He was responsible for much of the finest stained glass produced in the country for the next forty years. Much of his secular glass, such as this panel, was commissioned by the newly wealthy Scottish industrialists and shipping magnates.

Large 19th Century Ecclesiastical Stained Glass Window
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
A large antique late 19th century Ecclesiastical style stained glass window signed by Ward & Hughes, London, 1890. This window is of excellent artistry, with each tiny detail hand painted by a late 19th century artist. The stained glass depicts a religious scene, thought to be Joseph being visited by one of the Lord’s angels in a dream. The angel told Joseph to not be afraid and take Mary home as his wife, because what was conceived in her was from the Holy Spirit. The angel said they will call their son Jesus because he was to save his people from their sins. A piece of art showcasing such religious meaning, only deserves to be pride of place inside a home or property - perhaps even a new addition to a church or chapel.
