In the Rockford Park section of Wilmington
one gets the sense of stepping back in time. From the surrounding
hills, the highly visible and historic Rockford Tower can overwhelm
onlookers and the curious. It has inspired many an artist and
family picnics on its majestic grounds. You may be wondering
what is the significance between the tower and these panels,
and I would respond with, the historic and peaceful setting
can be traced to a time about 1899 to 1902 during its construction.
At this time in history the Victorian era reined supreme. In
its height about 1880 through 1890, many homes here and abroad
were adorned with lavish art glass and a Victorian flare. A
perfect setting for the artistic and free flowing symmetrical
designs that can inspire an artist. |

Victorian windows and many of
the incorporated designs were based on a simple arch, much
like a set of french curves, these arches were used over and
over to form most of the shapes seen in many of the periods
window designs.
Close up & Charming describes the feeling you get when
entering this warm and spacious family room. |
| There is something magical that happens when the
sunlight is transmitted through clear art glass. Combine the
glass, classic design and the antique black patina finish to
pull together a rich look of which one never grows tired of.

| Clear Art Glass executed in this style remains
neutral against any and all decors. |
