About this piece
back to topA finely painted antique stained glass window hanging by Hardman & Co. depicting an ecclesiastical female alongside a youth, possibly baby Jesus, both with crowns and halos.
Dating to 1889, this small stained glass panel was once a part of an impressive larger window named ‘the Tree of Jesse Window’, reclaimed from the north transept of All Saints Emscote church, Warwick.
This is just one of various stained and hand painted panels we are selling that once formed part of this striking church window. Hang in a window or in front of a light source to bring its colours and character to life.
Hardman & Co.
Renowned makers, Hardman & Co, made Birmingham a popular spot for stained glass, operating between 1838 and 2008 as a world-leading stained glass manufacturer.
Founder, John Hardman, led the company to be one of the country’s leading manufacturers in the 19th and 20th centuries. The company went on to create windows for churches and houses all over the world.
While most of the company’s windows were made for buildings in Britain and Ireland, many also went overseas to countries which were then part of the British Empire such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India. Others also went to the USA.
Some windows went to churches in big cities, while others went to tiny settlements.
Many of Hardman & Co’s records and designs are now divided between the Library of Birmingham and Birmingham Museums Trust.
