Diamond lattice leaded windows

Close-up of a window. Small diamond-shaped glass panes are joined together with lead cames to form a single sheet. The lines of the lead cames vary slightly in thickness, and the glass itself is not perfectly flat, distorting the view behind it. The outer frame is made of stone or heavy oak, divided into several vertical windowpanes with a mullion in the middle. Avoid: using large flat panes of glass, making the lead cames straight and uniformly wide metal grids, having perfectly flat and flawless glass without a handmade feel, making the window frame thin and light.

一扇窗的近景。小塊的菱形玻璃以鉛條接成整片,鉛條的線條略有粗細變化,玻璃本身不完全平整會扭曲後方的景物;外框是石材或厚重的橡木,分成幾個豎向的窗格,中間有直櫺。避免:使用大片平板玻璃、把鉛條做成筆直等寬的金屬格、玻璃平整無瑕沒有手工感、把窗框做細做輕。
