Mullioned Windows and Leading

An old glass window divided by leaded panes. The glass is divided into diamond or small square grids by thin lead strips, with each piece of glass slightly uneven in thickness and slightly distorted, so the view outside is blurry and warped; the lead strips are dark gray, almost black, with oxidation on the surface. The window frame is old dark wood. When light passes through, it casts fine grid-like shadows on the ground. Avoid: using large modern flat glass panes, making the glass clear and undistorted, using metal and plastic modern window frames, making the divisions too large and losing density.

一扇鉛條分割的舊玻璃窗。玻璃被細的鉛條分成菱形或小方格,每一片玻璃略有厚薄不勻與輕微的變形,因此外面的景色是模糊扭曲的;鉛條是深灰近黑的,表面有氧化。窗框是深色的舊木。光透過來時在地面投下細密的格狀影子。避免:使用大片的現代平板玻璃、讓玻璃清晰無變形、使用金屬與塑膠的現代窗框、把分割做得過大失去密度。
