This is one of a set of four matching stained glass windows along the outside wall of a spiral staircase. The design was taken from a set of lace drapes located in the dining room at the bottom of the staircase. Symmetrical designs such as this are often a good indicator of the craftperson's skill... Are the straight lines straight? Are the curves smooth and symmetrical? Do lines that merge together do so fluidly? They do in a well crafted piece such as this one.
