"Seraphim Angels"
By Earley Studios, Dublin. c1950
Pair of religious
stained glass windows, each leaded and hand painted depicting full
length figures of Seraphim angels floating on clouds. Above their
heads are the sacred symbols for Christ and Mary. Both windows
are in excellent original condition.
The Earley family were
involved with the decorative arts in some form
from the 1840's, being closely associated with A.W.N.
Pugin
and John Hardman of
Hardman & Co. Birmingham. The Earley Ecclesiastical
Studios were in
existence from 1864 to 1975, providing a high standard
of
ecclesiastical art during the Gothic revival of the 1800s and the
building of Catholic Churches which flourished in the first half of
the 20th century.
At this time, the Earley studios were heavy influenced by the work of
Irish Arts & Crafts artist Harry Clarke, using
"Antique streaky" glass in rich deep colours,
thick black paint lines, acid etching
and stylised,
often elongated, figures with sharp features.
This set of windows were removed from the chapel of St Winifred's Nursing
Home, Cardiff, Wales, prior to demolition.
Each Window Measures:
59¾" high x 20½"
