Autumn Sumac Stained Glass by Frank Lloyd Wright 10H

The Sumac Turns to Geometry: Frank Lloyd Wright Stained Glass for Autumn

Warm amber, rust, and gold bands climb a narrow panel. This Frank Lloyd Wright home decor glass reproduces the Autumn Sumac design. It was made for the Susan Lawrence Dana House in Springfield, Illinois, in 1902. It is an authorized reproduction.

Frank Lloyd Wright looked to the Midwestern sumac plant. He turned its natural form into a rhythm of geometric lines and autumn color. The result feels both architectural and botanical.

Wright treated windows, doors, and skylights as part of one interior. This Frank Lloyd Wright art glass design reflects the Prairie School ideal that ornament grows from its setting.

The sumac becomes an ordered pattern of verticals, blocks, and repeated forms. The warm tones harmonize with the natural world. This Frank Lloyd Wright art glass suits an autumn palette.

The glass is kiln-fired with transparent enamels, so the color will not fade. See more than 15 designs in our Frank Lloyd Wright collection and stained glass collection. This stained glass suncatcher also makes a fine gift.

Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) trained under Louis Sullivan in Chicago. He developed the Prairie School style, with low lines and open interiors. Wright designed art glass, furniture, and fixtures as part of each building. The Dana House holds one of the largest collections of his original art glass.
