Antique Window Glass


With our love for all things old, unique, and beautiful it will come as no surprise that we at Knickerbocker are completely enamored by old window glass. These ancient handmade panes are awash with swirling imperfections capable of softening any view into a mesmerizing impressionist painting. The view pictured here of course isn’t just any view. In fact we shot this image at the Capitoline Museums in Rome where the entire complex; including that dreamy balcony just beyond the doors; was designed over 400 years ago by none other than Michelangelo himself.
