Stained Glass - Art Nouveau Flower Stained Glass

Set of four Art Nouveau stained glass windows. With its scrollwork and flower decorations, this stained glass window is in the Art Nouveau style.
These stained glass windows once adorned a residence in the spa town of Vals-les-Bains (07). They were made in Paris by L'Homme and Lefèvre, who had their workshop at 5 rue Perdonnet.
Each panel is composed of a flower bed at the bottom and a climbing flower at the top. One combines hydrangea and chayotes, another iris and white wisteria, a third marries peonies and honeysuckle and a last dahlias and bindweed.

This stained glass window is exceptional because of its painting. Indeed, it is painted with relief enamel, a technique quite popular at the beginning of the 20th century then fallen into oblivion. Today, some workshops are trying to master this technique, but faithful restoration remains complicated.
The few cracks in its panels have been restored using tin-coated copper wire. Each panel is mounted with lead and set in an iron frame.
