What Is Leaded Glass?
Leaded glass, also known as stained glass or leadlight, is a type of glass art where individual pieces of glass are held together by strips of lead, known as cames. These lead cames not only provide structural support but also create the distinct patterns and designs that are the hallmark of leaded glass.
The glass pieces can be clear, colored, or textured, and the lead cames can be shaped into a variety of intricate patterns, from simple geometric shapes to elaborate floral and abstract designs.
Today’s leaded windows are still in style because they give solitude and refinement to a room. They may be utilized in both contemporary and historical buildings, and they always make an impression on onlookers.
