Glass frontage at the Crown Bar Belfast

Post by DAVE SMITH »

Some images of the glass at the Crown Saloon Bar Belfast. I think these may have been repainted at some time. The backgrounds in places look unfinished The chipping is interesting, I like the colour scheme that goes with the tiles and the rest of the architectural fascia work. The Cherub glass I showed you back along also belongs inside this pub .The bird panels for the inside of this pub are still being made, I will post some pics when finished.

I like the chip and blended shadow effect. I wonder if the name perhaps changed to the Crown and that is why the scroll looks different than the rest. Although the lettering for that area is similar, it does not look like quite the same. I would have thought the scroll area to be a blended color with strong gold letters for the name originally. I have seen some similar in Belfast and Dublin on Findlater's stores so could be the same signwriter (Findlater's were Judi's relatives so we have quite a few photos of their storefronts...last ones about 20 years ago?).

Thanks for the photos Dave.
