Stained glass hangings were first seen in medieval castles around 900 AD and were used to allow coloured light to filter through and enhance the otherwise bleak interior. Family heritage or lineage were common subjects as were devotional and religious themes. Today, stained glass hangings can be an effective form of window decoration especially where thermal windows are already in place. With any design or image possible, let Artistic Glass help bring colour, beauty and character to your castle or space with our decorative and artistic painted hangings.
