Jugendstil Stained glass window - 1910-1920 - 69x99cm/ 6,75Kg

A dramatic glow fills the room the moment this exceptional stained-glass panel catches the light. The sweeping organic lines, stylized florals and rhythmic geometry instantly anchor the eye—an authentic early-20th-century work that feels equally at home in a historic interior or a contemporary curated space.

Fully crafted in the spirit of the Jugendstil movement (the regional Art Nouveau expression in the Low Countries and Belgium), this oversized architectural panel combines botanical symbolism with artisanal lead-came construction. The palette of aqua blue, olive green, lime accents, ruby red buds and warm amber cathedral glass reflects the softer Northern European interpretation of Art Nouveau, often found in church glazing, canal houses, and bourgeois transom windows from the period 1900–1920.

The glass is original handblown relief glass. The small air bubbles are visible in the glass, a natural hallmark of early 20th-century artisanal production, confirming its hand-crafted origin and adding a refined visual depth when illuminated or displayed against light.

The panel is secured in a solid hardwood frame (oak or pitch-pine family), built with traditional mortise assembly, ensuring long-term stability and a premium architectural finish. The glasswork is hand-cut and set in original lead cames,. The lead network is firm and intact.

Historical Context
Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) emerged around 1900 as a rejection of rigid historicism, favouring flowing natural forms, botanical motifs, and artisanal integrity. Belgium and the Netherlands became known for a pastel-rich, more lyrical Art Nouveau expression compared to the French variant, frequently using tulip, lily, diamond and whiplash line motifs in ecclesiastical glazing and bourgeois architecture. Large panels of this scale are now highly sought after as cultural witnesses of early-20th-century optimism and high-end craftsmanship.
