Commission finished - FINALLY

This commission was waiting a year and a half before it was finally completed. The original idea, came from the customer who had seen another piece I created years ago called,"Crystal Cathedral". The customer wanted to incorporate her Grandmother's antique chandelier into the piece. I was able to accomplish this by using pieces of the original sconces and the lead crystals which hung freely as they once did in the chandelier.

Each window has over one hundred and thirty hand foiled, fluxed and soldered cut glass pieces. There is also antique glass from the Aldridge Hotel incorporated within the design. The customer has a sky light and in this particular shot you can see the sunlight coming through.
