A BRIEF HISTORY…

Based on remains found at Pompeii , stained glass was first used by wealthy Romans in their villas and palaces in the first century A.D.

At this time stained glass was considered a domestic luxury rather than an artistic medium.

It began to be regarded as an art form when Constantine first permitted Christians to worship openly in 313 A.D.

The earliest surviving example of pictorial stained glass is a Head of Christ from the tenth century excavated from Lorsch Abbey in Germany.
