These pieces will be cherished in your family for years to come.  We have hundreds of different styles, and each is unique.  We can help you find the perfect antique addition to your home.  If you are interested in seeing our selection of original antique stained glass, please contact us and we can schedule a visit or even email you photos. We also occasionally hold auctions for our imported pieces, and all our proceeds go to charity.

By being able to match the colors and textures of your existing glass, we are one of the few providers able to design and build new custom stained glass that is almost indistinguishable from the original.  We understand that when working with antique replacement or restoration, it’s important to ensure quality on a different scale; keeping your pieces as original as possible.  Our skilled designers and builders have the expertise to guide you through a perfect restoration or repair.

In reference to stained glass, “antique” is a relative term. As an art form, stained glass dates back thousands of years to the Ancient Egyptain times. During this time, artists began experimenting with colored glass which they used to decorate pottery or create beads for jewelry. As the art of glassmaking evolved, people began discovering new and exciting ways to use it in architecture. Eventually, this led to the rise of a new era, and stained glass became a highly praised and sought after feature. Architects began incorporating ornate painted and leaded glass windows in churches, cathedrals, and homes of the wealthy. 

However, today when homeowners search for antique stained glass, they are usually not interested in these ornate, Roman-Gothic styles. Rather, what they are hoping to find is stained glass with an elegant, vintage look. In this case, there are many stained glass styles that meet these specifications and make a beautiful addition to historic and modern buildings like. Homeowners who are interested in stained glass with an antique or vintage aesthetic will appreciate the styles of Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Prairie Style, Mackintosh, and painted stained glass.

If you are looking for inspiration for your design, there are many beautiful examples of antique stained glass that you can compare. Looking at different examples can help you gain an understanding of what colors and styles you like. This way, when you meet with a designer from Scottish Stained Glass, you’ll be able to give them a better idea of what you’re looking for. 

If you’re the type of person that admires craftsman style architecture or tends to gravitate towards more minimalistic design aesthetics, you may want to check out the work of Greene and Greene or Frank Lloyd Wright. These styles usually feature only two or three different colors and are beautiful without being too busy or overwhelming.

On the other hand, if you enjoy playing with color or are looking for a statement piece to add to your home, you may prefer some of the bolder, more extravagant styles of stained glass. In this case, we recommend exploring styles like Mackintosh, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. These styles are perfect for brightening up any home and are sure to give you the authentic, vintage look you desire.
