The DAFFODIL Restaurant, Cheltenham

Paul Lucker Designs originally supplied the feature pendants and other lighting back in 1999. Now we are involved again with the latest refurbishment. The lights are still fine and remain a key part of the scheme - but we are adding feature screens in classic Art Deco style. The frameworks are antique bronzed metalwork to match the lighting, and the glasswork matches the style of the original Odeon cinema that houses the restaurant.

March 2009 ALLERTON CASTLE

Following the completion of the magnificent historic bay window as featured in our main website, we have just completed the installation of 'The Rolph Window' at Allerton Castle.

Dr Rolph has presided over the restoration of this magnificent building for more than two decades, and in keeping with heraldic traditions, this window commemmorates the history of the Rolph family tree, including elements relating to the castle itself.

Apart from the technical and artistic demands, this window required a lot of research and design, and we learned a lot about heraldry.

So if you know anyone that is looking to create a family coat of arms in stained glass, you know where to send them...

March 2009 THE ROYAL HALL, HARROGATE

Although the refurbishment was completed over a year ago (see feature in our main website) the original budget did not run to a full restoration, and there are still some areas with very suspect glazing. One such area is the transom windows adjacent to the disabled access, which we have replaced with art nouveau leaded lights as shown. Hopefully the restoration will continue as funds become available.

WANTED – STAINED GLASS CEILINGS by PAUL LUCKER DESIGNS

If you know of the whereabouts of any old stained glass ceilings by Paul Lucker Designs / Lucker Decorative Glass Structures Ltd that are available for sale, please let us know! We made hundreds of ceilings and domes in the stained glass boom years between 1985 and 1995, and most of them that we know of are still in use and doing a great job! But others have been displaced due to site redevelopment and change of use, and it is these that we would like to hear about.

The ceiling shown is one of a pair that we made in the mid eighties for what was then the Post House Hotel at Guildford. Are they still there, and if not, where are they?

We are also particularly interested in the many mixed-media art deco `Poirot` ceilings that we made during the same period. Some of these featured composite metal frames in snowflake shapes with tiered timber surrounds, as well as special glass effects. These would be hugely expensive to produce today, hence our interest in buying any back that may become available.

If you have any information, or would like to sell us back one of our ceilings, please email paul@paulluckerdesigns.co.uk with some identification to authenticate the item. Please note that we do not buy and sell stained glass by others.

And ALL are for sale at a fraction of the price they would cost to make.

New Windows

This set of `sun` windows was created for the same customer to whom we supplied the Green Man & Woman windows last year (see feature in the `New Design` section of our website), and has recently been installed on site. Our customer says that the sun casts a warm glow around the room even on the most gloomy Yorkshire November day.
The next set is a planetary theme, apparently. We seem to be working our way around the building with fascinating new challenges with every window.
The Green Man and Sun sets were designed by Paul Lucker and beautifully artworked and constructed by Dan Beal at our Elland workshops.
