Antique stained glass panels are available from SalvageAntiques.com, and come to us from salvage jobs found around the world.

Antique stained glass used in windows is as varied as the artisans who crafted it. Small pieces of brilliantly colored glass were hand cut to fit into the design, and then were carefully arranged to form intricate patterns. The small pieces are held in place by strips of lead and the entire piece is surrounded by it’s own structure to give it added strength. Leaded glass, as the name implies, is made containing lead, which gives the glass a superior shine.
