Decorative
and Artistic Painted Hangings
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.
