    Description

    Up for sale is an incredible antique arched church window that can be hung over an existing window with plenty of light still flowing in.
    We purchased this church window many years ago from a family estate sale. We talked with the original owner and he said that he was in a Catholic orphanage in the 1940’s that housed the children in a large building that was attached to a church. When the entire property was sold and demolished in the 1970’s, the church contents and windows were pulled and auctioned by the developer. The owner attended the auction and purchased several items, the stain glass window being one of the items. He told me that he never repaired the glass in the window because he said the damage to the windows happened because the kids at the orphanage threw rocks and balls against the windows over the years during play times.
    This window has a fantastic design with lots of texture to the glass and some great swirled slag glass plus a fabulous shield design - just a beautiful window!
    It measures 36 inches by 60 inches. The window is in great condition but does have (2) small holes (see photos) and some tight hairline cracks.
    It hung in our family room in its original wood frame. We are parting with it now only because of an upcoming move. Make me an offer!
    Thanks for your interest.
