Stained glass window panels are one of the most beautiful decorating techniques in the world. They have been used in homes for centuries and often evoke a Victorian feel. But they are gaining popularity today as well. Stained glass is being used in new homes all the time and people are finding that the colored glass enhances their home like nothing else. Interested in learning more about the history of stained glass? Read on!

The use of colored glass has been used since ancient times. The Egyptians and Romans are famous for their stained glass artifacts. Items such as vases and perfume bottles from these ancient people are treasured in museums across the world. It wasn’t until the 4th century that colored glass was used to produce stained glass window panels. This practice was first used in (yes you guessed it) Christian churches. These lovely colored glass windows can be seen across the world in almost any church and this is where the birth of stained glass window panels began.

Over the years, stained glass window panels went through changes. They were typically used only in churches until the 19th and 20th century. At this time, affluent people started using them in their homes. After the First World War, many of the churches in Europe had to be rebuilt and stained glass became popular again. Many Victorian homes still boast original stained glass window panels, usually with simple designs such as flowers and birds.

Stained glass window panels have made it into the 21st century. The desire for historical ties has led many people to look into restoring old homes, rather than buying or building new homes. The discovery of original stained glass in Victorian-era homes has caused a new generation to become enamored with this lovely art form and some people are even using stained glass in brand new home production today.
