Giannini & Hilgart

Some of Giannini and Hilgart's window designs

Giannini & Hilgart is a Chigaco-based glass studio. It was founded in 1899 by Orlando Giannini (1860–1928), a Swiss-Italian sculptor from Ohio, and German-born glass cutter Frederick Hilgart (1867–1943). Giannini and Hilgart created stained glass windows and mosaics, often in the Art Nouveau style. Giannini left the firm in 1907[1][2] and it was passed down to Hilgart's son, Fred Hilgart.[3] After his death, Giannini & Hilgart was given to Lubomyr Wandzura, an employee who had moved to the United States from Ukraine after World War II and worked at the firm as painter.[4][3]
