Stained Glass for the home - window design ideas,
This review is from: Antique Stained Glass for the Home (Schiffer Book for Collectors with Price Guide) (Hardcover)
Great catalog reference book to see actual photos (all color) of old stained glass windows and designs that were executed for period homes. All types of designs from simple to complex are depicted and beautifully photographed. The book can be used to research design styles; as a reference tool of design ideas for the stained glass craftsperson; or for anyone who appreciates stained glass and enjoys looking at beautiful windows.

The Most Comprehensive Design Resource,
By Wchick84 (Topeka, KS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Antique Stained Glass for the Home (Schiffer Book for Collectors with Price Guide) (Hardcover)
This is one of the most excellent and comprehensive design resources that a stained glass artist should have. It is not an instructional manual, but a reference that provides detailed, color pictures of actual windows. I like this book because it portrays the various styles of stained glass and discusses the history of those styles. Roman, gothic, renaissance, arts & crafts, art deco, religious, contemporary and free style are all represented with quality photos. Valuations are provided for many of the examples to show the reader/artist what both contemporary and historical pieces have a tendency to be worth. This book often provides the visual nudge I need to get started on a project. I would recommend this book to anyone who is, or who wants to be, involved in creating beautiful stained glass projects.

This book makes excellent reference material. Beautifully photographed illustrations make it easy to give clients creative ideas when it comes to designing a window for them.

Not my favorite book,
This review is from: Antique Stained Glass for the Home (Schiffer Book for Collectors with Price Guide) (Hardcover)
This book was infomative and had lovely pictures of stained glass windows, but it was still not just what I was looking for in a book on this subject.
