About the Item

Monumental Pair of Stained Glass Windows Jean-Baptiste Capronnier (J.B. Capronnier) Belgium, dated *fecit 1886* A rare and highly important pair of monumental stained glass windows by **Jean-Baptiste Capronnier**, one of the leading masters of 19th-century European stained glass. One panel bears the original inscription **“J.B. Capronnier fecit 1886”**, confirming authorship and date. Executed in richly colored, hand-painted glass with finely modeled figures, elaborate architectural settings, and ornate foliate borders, the compositions depict sacred Christian scenes populated by angels, saints, and children, arranged in a clear narrative and vertical hierarchy typical of Capronnier’s mature ecclesiastical work. The refined treatment of faces, drapery, and spatial depth reflects the influence of Renaissance revival aesthetics combined with late 19th-century academic historicism. Capronnier was a key figure in the revival of stained glass in Belgium, producing works for major churches and public buildings throughout Europe. Signed examples from the 1880s are particularly rare and highly valued by collectors and institutions. **Details:** * Artist: Jean-Baptiste Capronnier * Date: 1886 * Medium: Hand-painted stained glass with lead cames * Origin: Belgium * Signature: “J.B. Capronnier fecit 1886” (on one panel) * Dimensions: **375 × 150 cm** (each window) * Condition: **Missing elements are visible in the photographs.

Large 19th Century Ecclesiastical Stained Glass Window
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
A large antique late 19th century Ecclesiastical style stained glass window signed by Ward & Hughes, London, 1890. This window is of excellent artistry, with each tiny detail hand painted by a late 19th century artist. The stained glass depicts a religious scene, thought to be Joseph being visited by one of the Lord’s angels in a dream. The angel told Joseph to not be afraid and take Mary home as his wife, because what was conceived in her was from the Holy Spirit. The angel said they will call their son Jesus because he was to save his people from their sins. A piece of art showcasing such religious meaning, only deserves to be pride of place inside a home or property - perhaps even a new addition to a church or chapel. Ward & Hughes, London Ward & Hughes, based in Frith St, Soho, London, proved to be one of the most successful stained glass studios of its time, known for its distinctive style. It was initially a partnership between Thomas Ward and James Henry Nixon...
