Leadlight
Leadlight is a decorative glass technique that involves using small pieces of colored glass held together by strips of lead. This method is often used to create beautiful windows, doors, and panels, allowing light to filter through in vibrant patterns. The glass can be painted or etched to enhance its design, making each piece unique.
The history of leadlight dates back to ancient times, but it became particularly popular during the Victorian era. Today, it is often associated with Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, showcasing intricate designs and craftsmanship. Leadlight remains a cherished art form in both residential and commercial architecture.
