Salvaged from a building in Algona, Iowa (see building as it is pictured now covered with a slate looking tile). The 100+ year old panel prism tile and Frank Lloyd Wright designed tiles were used as a transom in a commercial space. The tiles were designed to redirect sunlight from windows where the light came in sending it deep into the interior spaces where there was no natural light. Luxfer prism glass advertised it could double the amount of light with the addition of horizontal prisms to the back side of square glass tiles when compared to normal glass windows. In 1896 Frank Lloyd Wright patented the design. 4″ X 4″ X 1/4 thickness. I have two 4 foot by 4 foot panels that are barely held together but are supported my a sheet of underlayment. In each of those panels there are 26 Frank Lloyd Wright designed tiles surrounded by 106 plain prism tiles one signature violet tile on each panel. Loose tiles I have 60 FLW design tiles and 276 clear prism tiles. For a grand total of 600 tiles cumulatively (112 flw + 488 prism = 600). This is a rare lot to have all these tiles together. Great archectural salvage that could be used in a variety of different applications. And hopefully implemented back into a transom in a restoration project. NOTE: the last 3 pictures are to give you reference to an intact store front in Northfield, MN.
