AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Eagle in Profile – Leaded Stained Glass Panel
This stained glass panel depicts an eagle in strict profile, rendered with layered feather geometry and a controlled contrast between opaque and translucent glass. The composition emphasizes strength and vigilance through the bird’s gaze and sharply defined beak, while the flowing feather segments introduce rhythm and depth when illuminated. The restrained background framing allows the figure to remain visually dominant.
Manufacturer and origin
Studio-made stained glass panel, Western Europe.
Year of production
Late 20th century.
Style and function
Contemporary figurative stained glass. Designed as a hanging window panel or interior wall-mounted light feature.
Materials and technique
Hand-cut coloured glass assembled with lead cames. Opaque and lightly opalescent glass used for the eagle; clear textured glass for the background. Metal frame and hanging chain present.
Condition
Good condition. Lead joints stable and intact. Minor surface wear and small irregularities consistent with hand-crafted stained glass. No significant cracks affecting structural integrity.
Value rationale
Figurative stained glass panels featuring animals of symbolic strength, such as eagles, are consistently sought after for both decorative and thematic appeal. The craftsmanship, balanced colour palette, and strong graphic clarity enhance its desirability for collectors and interior designers.
Context and significance
The work reflects late 20th-century European stained glass practice, where traditional leaded techniques were applied to bold, modern figurative subjects. The eagle motif aligns with themes of power, independence, and clarity, commonly explored in contemporary decorative glass of the period.
Dimensions
41 × 51 cm (H × W)
