Beveled Glass Goes Gothic! Film at 11...

beveled glass window,leaded glass window

. Here are two panels mounted on either side of a front door. The client wanted no colored glass and some amount of privacy.

The small squares in this design are all 2 x 2 inch beveled squares. Because bevels are sometimes not private enough for a residential entryway, we decided to use glue chipped bevels. This was also a good choice because the major background glass was also glue chipped clear glass.

I used 1/4" and 1/2" lead came to add interest to this design. I replaced some of the long straight lines with zinc came so that these panels would be strong enough without having to add additional support bars to the back side of these panels.

All of the lead, zinc, and solder were darkened with a black patina.

See the not-so-great photo of the whole entryway below. .
