Victorian Doorways Stained Glass Pattern Book

Book excerpt: Derived from authentic 19th-century sources, these elegant patterns were all specially designed for doorways. Distinctive images include flowers, grapevines, scrolls, wreaths, and other motifs, each appearing in several shapes, including rectangular, oval, circular, and oblong. These variations in shape make it easy for craftworkers to execute the same motif in a variety of formats, such as transoms, sidelights, and door inserts. Artists, artisans, and craftspeople seeking patterns with a nostalgic appeal will find that these lovely permission-free stained glass designs lend themselves equally well to a host of other art and craft projects. 175 b/w illus.
