Franz Mayer and Company, is a German Stained-Glass Design and Manufacturing Company, based in Munich, Germany, that has been active throughout most of the World for over 150 years.

The Firm was very popular during the Late-19th-Century and Early-20th-Century, and was the principal provider of Stained-Glass to the large Roman Catholic Churches that were constructed throughout the World during that period.

Franz Mayer and Company were Stained-Glass artists to The Holy See and, consequently, were popular with Roman Catholic clients.
