Product details:

In Wright s early houses he included interior overhead skylights. Wright referred to them as toplights. Using natural color glass placed in lead-lined panels, they were placed in specific locations in the house to provide ambiance and gently light a room. The elongated geometric patterns designed for the B. Harley Bradley House are some of the most sophisticated he ever created. Six alternating panels were originally placed above the dining table area and contain elaborate use of linear and angular pieces of glass. Muted colors of amber, gold, soft green and white reflect colors associated with nature. Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest architects of the 20th century. His work heralded a new thinking in architecture, using innovation in design and engineering made possible by newly developed technology and materials. His creative ability extended far beyond the borders of architecture and into graphic design, furniture, art glass, linens, and decorative products for the home. Wright designed well over 4,000 leaded glass windows and doors for more than 150 of his buildings. He often referred to them as light screens, a term that evokes Japanese shoji screens, where they were arranged in bands like his windows. Wright created leaded glass designs for doors, skylights, back-lit ceiling panels, table lamps and wall sconces as well as for windows.
