Description from the seller
Abstract Stained Glass Hanging Panel – Mid-1970s Modernist Geometric Composition
In mint condition – No reserve.
Striking handmade stained glass panel featuring a bold abstract geometric composition in deep cobalt blue, vivid ruby red, and soft blush/pale lilac tones. The flowing, intersecting curves create a dynamic modernist rhythm, characteristic of mid-1970s design, when decorative glass embraced strong color contrasts and expressive, architectural abstraction.
The panel is crafted using traditional leaded technique with hand-blown glass. The presence of natural air bubbles and subtle, minor surface irregularities are inherent to the artisanal glassmaking process and confirm the handmade character of the piece.
Set within a solid metal perimeter frame, the panel displays rich, luminous colors that create a spectacular play of light when placed in front of a window or light source. As sunlight passes through, the composition comes alive with saturated hues and soft tonal transitions.
This work reflects the mid-1970s revival of stained glass as a modern interior art form, bridging Mid-Century Modern principles with emerging contemporary studio glass aesthetics. Such panels were often commissioned for private homes, design interiors, and architectural accents.
Details:
Period: Mid-1970s

A true eye-catcher and highly decorative piece, ideal for Mid-Century Modern, 1970s, or contemporary interiors. A strong collector’s example of modern abstract stained glass from the golden age of expressive interior glass design.
