Help identify my stained glass window
« on: August 10, 2023, 07:40:31 AM »
Good day everybody

I am wondering if you can help I have an old property (built for waste merchant WS Taylor in 1904) which has a fairly unique hallway stained glass window.  If been trying to research the artist but have had no success to date and wondered if anyone on here can help?

The property is located in Scotland (which may help?) and the window is 3.5m x 1.5m

Any help/advice is sincerely appreciated and I thank you in advance! 🙏

The Scottish designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh springs to mind, with a hint of the Pre-Raphaelites. There are similar examples online.

Every single in stained glass panel in a house of this kind of age has a bit of a C.R.MacIntosh look.
This is a bit special, with the figure in it, and the curvy bits are more nouveau than deco. I wouldn't know where to start, but I think the artist possibly could be well known enough to be recorded and found - it looks good enough. But I don't think it's CRM.
He was Glasgow. West coast. Dundee is East coast.

I don't have figures in any of my panels  :P which are also in an old house in Dundee.  ;D  8) hiya!

I found this online, elsewhere it states this image is from the GSA but the window was destroyed in one of two fires.

Yours might not be by JRM but may be by another artist at the GSA. I can't find it now but I did see one online in a house in London, I would have thought they could be found anywhere in the UK. By the way Sue, have Glasgow and Dundee swapped sides?

No, they haven't swapped sides, Nev. I got it completely wrong. Thanks for pointing my stupid mistake out!
Easts and wests are like lefts and rights. They all change and confuse when you turn around. I'll ask a moderator to sort it, I can't leave it like that!  :-[ :-[ :-[

I did find something that might be of some help? But I'm having trouble with the Scotland's Glass website right now.

Liz Rowley is a local stained glass artist, she did that gorgeous blue flame on the bank of Scotland building in town and she has repaired panels for us. I wonder if she might know something about the origins of your window? She's very friendly and helpful.

Sue's geography fixed. I'm glad it's not just me that gets left and right, east and west etc round the wrong way. :)   {{{{{{{Hugs Sue}}}}}}}
