| Varying the widths on this fan window made it more interesting than the traditional, even spaced designs of the past. Creating something new that works in a traditional spaces gives the architecture uniqueness that adds to its value. | Stylized Peacock. |

| We hand beveled 3/8" thick glass for this entryway so we could achieve a variable bevel that radiates from 1/2" in the center to 1" along the outer edges of the window. This gave a very nice movement to the light as it traveled along the bevel, widening and narrowing as one moved to each side. We created this entryway for a home in the Church Hill section of Richmond, Virginia. | We stylized these hand beveled windows by using floating caming, zipper cuts and brilliant cutting. Beveling with colored glass gives the one window its unique sparkle, while immaculate bevels define the other. |

| Just some of the beveled glass windows we have created using traditional designs in our Historical Collection. Some we create true to the originals, while others we embelish upon with various glass beveling techniques we've learned over the years. |

| A partition seperating the power room from the bathroom, where our client wanted the look of a Tiffany wisteria window. The iron gate is actually part of the window design that evolved as we work together. This project received both sunlight and artificial light, creating a moody effect throughout the day and evening | This beveled glass window was designed and made for the entrance door. Most of our glass beveling is done on 1/4" or 5/16" glass, like the windows you see along Monument Avenue in Richmond, VA. We started using 3/8" glass so our windows would "hold its own" when surrounded by heavy trim molding. The areas that appear dark are actually emerald green glass. |

One of three windows for a living room. We started out making the transoms to help control the sunlight into the room. Several years later, we added the bottom area using wavy restoration glass with a beveled glass center. Then the idea evolved to build little glass shelves into the window to hold some of the owners blown glass collection. |

Art Deco inspired cabinet doors. These windows are lit from inside the cabinet to help the balance the translucent and opaque glass. Back lighting can be challenging, but often provides a special touch to the space. |
The curved doors in this cabinet requred that we bevel glass that was curved to the exact angle of the doors. By making a wood mold the size and curvature of the door, we were able to bend the zinc and then build the window in the traditional way. |

| Beveling colored glass seemed like the perfect material for this whiplash design. A transom window for a traditional dining room, this piece seems timeless. | Created for a mud room where the owner wanted privacy but to still be able to see people coming down his driveway. Created by beveling our glue chip glass, clear glass, and a light gold colored glass. |
