The artwork displays vibrant jewel tones of deep red, blue, green, and gold set within traditional lead came.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAbove the figures, a quatrefoil medallion contains a lily along with the inscription \"Lilium Convallium,\" referencing the lily of the valley-an enduring symbol of purity associated with the Virgin Mary in Christian iconography.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe surrounding Gothic tracery and decorative motifs reinforce the ecclesiastical architectural style commonly seen in church windows. A companion window recovered at the same time bears the Latin inscription \"Fecit (made by) B. Bardenhewer Bruxellensis (from Brussels)\", identifying the work as produced by the Bardenhewer stained glass studio of Brussels, Belgium, a studio known for ecclesiastical stained glass commissions. (see photos).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe panel remains set within its original wood frame, which follows the pointed Gothic arch form. The bottom of the frame was somewhat rotted from long term water exposure. It has beeen replaced by a plain 2X4 board. The combination of detailed painted glass, strong colors, and ornate Gothic design creates a striking display piece that works beautifully as a window insert, backlit wall feature, or architectural decorative element.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\nThe stained glass panels remain vibrant and intact overall, with two small pieces of glass missing and some cracking wihin an angel wing (see photos). The original wood Gothic frame is still holding the window securely but shows age-related wear, including areas of dry rot. A section has been cut from the bottom of the frame, and we have reinforced this area with a new 2 × 4 support to stabilize the piece. Overall, it presents beautifully and would make a striking decorative architectural element or could be restored by a stained glass professional if desired.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\n99\" height x 58.5\" width x 5\" length\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping:\u003cbr\u003e\nLarge items are carefully blanket-wrapped and delivered by trusted small-business transport companies experienced in handling antiques and fine furniture.
