I have purchased 50 of these windows from a local old hotel which dates to the beginning of 20th century. These windows were original to the hotel and absolutely outstanding. I've admired them for years so when the building was being refurbished I bought them. I wonder if anyone has any idea if the pattern has a specific name or where I might be able to find out more about them. I would like to know if they could possibly be a CRM pattern or has someone else done a similar pattern. They are fantastic.
Beautiful glass...
oldestrope, Beautiful. :-)
The hotel wasn't even trying to preserve these? >8-0
A modern stained glass maker makes something CRM-inspired that's reminicent of yours:

You might want to contact them, and ask if their "MSG 8" was inspired by a particular CRM work:

Hello Keramikos, Thanks so much for the links sent. Unfortunately the hotel were selling all the original features off, they didn't want anything remaining and currently down to the bare bones. I have contacted the company you suggested and should I get a response I'll let you know. The other link does indeed look similar. I've taken some amazing photographs today of the colours, see new photos attached.
oldestrope, You're welcome. :-)
Wow, so the hotel is going in a completely different direction. :-(
Oh well, their loss is your gain.
Yes indeed, the resemblance is striking now that I see the pictures you've added.
I'd be surprised to learn that there isn't a CRM pattern that served as their inspiration.
Do please let us know if you learn anything further.
