This stunning stained glass representation of the world famous Lone Tree of Buttermere in the English Lake District, and has been revamped as part of our new ‘Iconic Lakeland’s’ collection and is now created using leaded stained glass skills rather than tiffany copper foiling.
Inspiration for this piece came during a sublime evening swim in Buttermere lake back in 2021. As I was heading back to shore, the silhouette of the tree with the mountains rising behind and the silvery moonshine stopped me mid-stroke and the was magically calming quality of the view just blew me away.
Created using a mix of semi-opaque and streaky glass and traditional leadwork techniques, the tree is then carefully added using an intricate copper foil overlay and decoratively soldered to provide a raised and textured surface like bark.
An oxidising patina is then applied to the tree, to create the pewter, shadowy lines and finished with a preservative wax to maintain its shine.
Due to the nature of the textured and multi-faceted semi-opaque glass used here, the panel transforms depending on the light source available and is ever changing, much like the Lake District itself!
Measuring 8 x 6 inches and provided with a unique handcrafted ‘live edge’ oak wooden stand.
Please note that for 'In-stock' items, there will be a 3 week lead time prior to dispatch to allow for finishing touches and weatherproofing to be applied prior to leaving us.
Due to the outline shape of this design, it has not been created as a hanging piece, and looks beautiful displayed in it's plinth and back lit. A bespoke wooden stand is included with this piece.
However, should you wish to have it as a hanging piece, please contact us using the online form to discuss a bespoke version either as a hexagon or arch.
