Small Charterhouse Keepsake – Nave Grisaille

£200.00

Different tints of white glass were selected for this understated piece. Repeating patterns of sun, foliage and gothic windows helped filter the light in a technique called Grisaille painting. Less skilled apprentices often worked on the backgrounds before being allowed to work on figures.

The engraved writing is just visible and reads No3 RH SS Nave. I think this means the original window was destined for the third opening on the south side of the nave in Charterhouse chapel.

Description

A small framed stained glass panel made with historic glass fragments from Charterhouse School in Godalming. The glass was originally made for the chapel in around 1872 by the London firm of Clayton & Bell. It has survived two fires and has been reinvented into a new work of art in my studio in Farncombe.

The panel measures 10cm x 10cm (framed size 12cm x 12cm x 3cm)
