Sandblasted Replacement Glass for a Sash Window, Leaf Border and Diamond Pattern

Two pieces of replacement glass for the same Victorian sash window: a border of leaves around a lattice of diamond panels, and a single panel showing the diamond lattice, each diamond holding a small foliate motif. The design was traced from the surviving glass and reproduced in sandblasted 4 mm toughened glass in 2024, to match the original panes of an approximately 130-year-old window that had been smashed in several places. Sandblasting leaves the pattern clear against a frosted ground, the same effect as the acid-etched glass used in Victorian and Edwardian sash windows.
