I came across these two old brass clad windows at an antique show about 5 years ago. The vendor did not know where they originally were used but said were part of an estate sale in southern Michigan.

They look to have come out of a bank or savings & loan from the early half of the twentieth century. As a youngster I remember seeing windows like this between the public waiting area and the tellers at old banks. These have an old world heft to them.

When I got the windows the wood was painted white and the brass was heavily lacquered. I stripped the paint enough to assess the wood beneath and stripped much of the lacquer (hard work) to see the color of the brass beneath. But these are hardly complete of being stripped and spiffed up.

Not sure what kind of wood it is but its a hardwood and heavy. The brass cladding is heavy (thick) as well and exquisitely formed. The windows sides and edges are a bit rough where they have some nails, splits, hammer marks, and old screw holes in them. None of the holes protrude through the brass.

Size is 18 3/8" x 36 3/4" for the brass, with the wood on the sides maybe 1/8" wider. They weigh 30 lbs each without any packaging! This may not sound like much but when they are in your arms they seem very 'old world'.

If you would like more detailed photos just request them and provide an email account. Explain what type of detail you are interested in.

While I would prefer that a buyer pick these up in person, I will work with the buyer to ship them. They will be sent as two packages rather than a single one.

Weight with packaging is 40 lbs per window. Be sure to note that the shipping calculator is for a single window, so double the estimate for the pair (sold as a pair only).

This is where I try to explain why you MUST have these. About the only thing I can tell you is that I love old stained glass windows and have dragged more than a few home. In all my digging through old windows these are the only two like this I've ever seen. They have a 'presence' about them that appeals to the eye as much as an artfully done leaded glass piece.
