Vitrail-RosslynChapel

£89.95

Hand-crafted in the beautiful harbour village of St Aubin in the island of Jersey, this piece is from the Arcane collection.

Vitrail-RosslynChapel is inspired by the stained glass window in the Crypt of the beautiful Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian, Scotland.

This piece is hand crafted and mounted in an oak or silver finish wooden frame that measures 17.3cm x 17.3cm. This one is best seen for its iridescent sparkle!

Rosslyn Chapel, also known as St Matthew's Collegiate Church, was founded in 1446 by Sir William St Clair, the last Prince of Orkney and Lord of Rosslyn Castle. It was heavily damaged in 1592 and restored in 1861. The main feature of the extraordinary building is the intricate and elaborate carvings that adorn every surface.

Numerous attempts have been made to find hidden meaning in the myriad of carving details. One prominent feature is 213 small cubes that project from pillars and arches. The cubes are carved with numerous different designs, which have been interpreted as a musical score, and as a secret code.

Since the late 1980s, the chapel has been the subject of speculative theories concerning a connection with the Knights Templar, the Holy Grail, and Freemasonry. It was prominently featured in the fictional book and movie “The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown.

The interior picture showing the window is a scene from the Da Vinci Code movie, which was filmed on location at Rosslyn Chapel.
