Ballantine and Gardiner was a Scottish manufacturer of stained-glass windows, one of several names the company worked under.[1]
The business was founded in Edinburgh by James Ballantine (1806–1877) and George Allan as Ballantine and Allan. They began making stained glass in the 1830s.
In 1843, they won a competition to design windows for the new Houses of Parliament, although it was subsequently changed to that of the House of Lords.[1][2]
James' son, Alexander (1841–1906), joined the business, which thence became known as Ballantine and Son until 1905. Herbert Gardiner joined in 1905. Alexander's son, James Ballantine III, also joined in 1905, a year before his father's death.[1]
Some of the firm's work was signed with the alternative spelling of Ballantyne.[1]
