authentique LEADLIGHTING

Waking up with dappled light streaming through this window in the loft.

And framed by


When I set out on this build I had wanted to learn to make my own window and pretty much every single thing in the home. I quickly changed my thinking as I did want to move in after one year. I decided that supporting crafts people was the way to go, to have their beautiful work in my home.

Some features that have been hand crafted:
Kitchen bench out of Silky Oak
Steps up to the loft
All kitchen cabinetry custom
Circle window frame
Lead light
Raw edge kitchen shelves

It is really nice have these special creations in the home. In the end I am glad I found these skilled people and have the warmth of their work in my home.

Often these artisans do not have instagram, they are found by word of mouth.

My client who is a creative musician that also creates all the artwork for his albums and more designed this himself & had a ball!

The design changed drastically over a bunch of times but that was the fun of it. Better yet it has the pale amber glass that we removed from St Peter’s Church Toorak when installing new leadlights just a few metres up the road from his house.

I was finally able to install it back in November 2020 it into his front door after a long COVID Melbourne lockdown.
My client was over the moon with the end result. It came together better than he had envisioned. My task complete!

Happy to get these back in today 🧞‍♂️
Thank you to for your help & for bending the bar to shape around the bevel 💙 @ Mount Eliza, Victoria, Australia

To make this bird feeder for my sisters birthday using recycled timbers, old door handle and a reclaimed fancy post!

I joined onsite Rob Rusev Stained Glass & team last week to install their new diamond quarries at St Peters Cathedral Toorak.

The entire inside of the church is having a complete overhaul & an extension on the side, not only working at such a place is an incredible experience but to see all the heritage trades at work is something else!

Two new refreshing entry sets we made & installed to the front & rear entryways that are either end of the long hallway in this beautiful freshly renovated original 1880’s Victorian Farmhouse in Somerville!

The new windows at St. Peter’s Dear Friends, Geoffrey Wallace Stained Glass released photos of our beloved church rear windows which are here for your delight. Cannot wait to back together at St. Peter’s in the future. Bes…

The South West master bedroom. We have good reason to believe this room served as a Doctor's waiting room or surgery, in the mid-1920s. Those stained glass, leadlight doors, recently restored by Linda at Authentique in Somerville, open on to the wrap-around verandah. The lovely old brick fireplace you can see, features a hardwood timber mantle and surround. At the bedhead, and just out of shot, is a 4-bay double-sliding sash window feature. The floor is baltic pine, which we believe to be the original materials. To finish the room off, and add comfort, we put down some good quality carpet.

The elegant trio 💎💧 💠

Thank you to Mark & Miranda for having me out to repair & restore their gorgeous old leadlights!
It was a pleasure to have my small part in the restoration of the Woyna House 🏡 which they have done an extraordinary job with much hard work. Here are some extremely kind words from Mark, thank you.
I wish you both all the best on the sale of this beautiful original Rosebud House (Capel Sound)
