Les volets intérieurs des fenêtres à meneaux, garnies de vitreries géométriques ou de verrières décoratives, serties de plomb, conservent leur division en petits panneaux assemblés à onglets. Ils sont dits "à deux parements" lorsqu’ils sont peints sur les deux faces, comme à la galerie du château d’Oiron. [...] Aux fenêtres les meneaux de pierre disposés en croix sont remplacés par des meneaux de bois moulurés en quart-de-rond qui divisent les croisées en quatre ou six châssis garnis de verre serti de plomb, au réseau de losange ou de bornes. Puis apparaissent les premières croisées à petits bois, avec des carreaux de verre de Lorraine de huit pouces six lignes (23 cm), qui sont les dimensions d’une bouteille soufflée déroulée. Ces carreaux sont irréguliers, teintés de violet (manganèse) ou de vert, avec des bulles. Dans son édition de 1699, le "Cours d’Architecture", Augustin Charles Daviler mentionne les croisées garnies de verre serti de plomb. 3, record 2, French, - fen%C3%AAtre%20%C3%A0%20vitraux
