Charles Alexander Gibbs (1825-77) began his education in stained glass under his father, Isaac Alexander Gibbs (1802-51), who had received the family’s first stained glass commission in 1848. Following his father’s death he initially continued the work of the studio in conjunction with his brother, Alexander Gibbs (1832-86). However, the partnership soon broke up and from 1858 Charles Gibbs traded independently at 148 Marylebone Road, London.
