Leaded Glass | McLean Stained Glass Studios

Architectural Designs

Prismatic Basketweave

Simple but powerful design with an interplay of textures and prismatic light. The clients commissioned the panel for an entryway door.

When Pamela received the two vintage stained glass door panels, they were in a very bad state. Over 100 years of grime layered the glass and the lead was badly deteriorated. A full restoration was required to return these beautiful panels to their original glory.

Beveled Entryway with Oval Side Windows

The beveled squares used in the entryway door and sidelights offer an elegant geometric design. The oval entryway windows feature lovely water and antique glass. Classic designs with a pink twist.

Beveled Victorian Transom

The bevels, forming a circular floral motif, create a strong and beautiful focal for this Victorian style transom. The colors of muted orange and amber add beauty to the overall design, as does the use of two different textured clear glasses to emphasize the bevels.

Nouveau Gothic Panel

A client requested a large interior panel to partition his patio office from his home. The design gives a nod to stained glass designs from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. The floral focal is a blue water glass. The border is a vintage beautiful Art glass.

Emerald Green Edwardian Entryway

A commission for a full restoration of an entryway door. Pamela suggested that adding a band of color would give it some interest, and the owner chose emerald green. The large handmade glass nuggets are beautiful and prismatic, as is the beveled border.

Frank Lloyd Wright Restoration

The large panel came to Pamela with broken glass and in need of a full restoration. The picture shows Pamela’s completed work, hanging in the client’s home.

Restoration Classic Tudor Diamond Door

The diamond pattern is a classic pattern dating back to early English grand homes from the 16th century. It was more stable than square cut panes, hence used more often. The two panels were brought to Pamela, literally hanging by a thread. These are very old leaded glass panels feature …

Colonial Entryway

A leaded glass entryway, sidelights and transom, was created with a very classic design. Using a very pale gray glass for the center diamonds gives an added dimension to the overall presentation.

Victorian Transom

When the Victorian transom was brought to Pamela, it was in a state of complete deterioration. The panel was over 100 years old and the lead was like tissue paper. The owner wanted it to be returned to its original glory and even enlarged by adding extra borders. Pamela began …

Bevel Leaded Glass Cabinet Panel

This is an elegant example of using two privacy glasses, Water Glass and Glue Chip, to emphasize the design. Creating a border using bevels lends prismatic and light-enhancing beauty.

Raddatz Dressing Room Window

The Dressing Room needed privacy glass leaded windows to let in the light, but allow for privacy. Pamela designed the leaded panels to complement the beauty of the existing old 9 panel window, to complement its inherent beauty in the tradition of the French Quatrefoil (four leaf motif). The privacy …

Evans Farm Dining Room

The center glass is an elegant pale gray Water Glass which shimmers beautifully as the light passes through. The field is privacy glass and the borders are prismatic bevels. The design of the …

Evans Farm Entryway – Sidelights & Transom

Pamela designed and created the leaded glass Entryway (sidelights & transom) for a McLean, Virginia home. The center diamonds are a beautiful pale gray Water Glass which gives the design a wonderful definition. This Water Glass is no longer made and after calling all of her distributor contacts, she was …

1910 Lamp Design

This beautiful lamp was given to Pamela to repair because some of the panes had cracked and needed replacing. The cranberry glass is stunning. And it is expensive because it is made with gold. But it is worth it when the lamp shade is illuminated!

Restoration: Antique German Panels

Restored Antique German Panels These two panels were smashed to smithereens during a move from Germany. Pamela took them apart completely, made templates with the original design, and restored them using antique glass.

Copeland Panels

These four elegant and simple panels were commissioned for a stunning library. The bevels are custom made by hand, and the two circles on each panel are hand-made beveled jeweled glass from Germany. The “field glass” is called Water Glass.

Traditional Squares Panel

This panel in a traditional square design was made of water glass and seeded privacy glass, and was commissioned for a room divider. Hi Pam, Just a note of thanks. The panel is perfect!! It’s not yet hung, but will be tomorrow and I’ll share a photo or two. Appreciate …
