Object Description
A stunning large-scale highly decorative mid 19th century and earlier stained glass triptych.
This wonderful stained glass triptych consists of three separate sections that form the overall ‘stained glass window’, each window consisting of various fragments of coloured glass including some early pieces as well as mid 19th century stained and etched glass with lead work, with possible repairs made in the Victorian period.
Each stained glass window has been framed within a light box using led lights to enable the light to be reflected through the glass without the need of natural light – therefore giving a source of decorative light and a stunning appearance.
The top section, of arched form, consists of various pieces of coloured glass to form a superbly decorative window with a leaf and berry design border, all within a moulded wooden frame.
The middle section, of rectangular form, consists of various pieces of coloured glass depicting the Ascension of Jesus as He ascends to Heaven the Apostles watch him below with a leaf and berry design border, all within a moulded wooden frame.
The lower section, of square form, again consisting of various pieces of coloured glass creating a stunning quatrefoil design to the centre and other deigns depicting the words ‘HE WAS PARTED FROM THEM AND CARRIED UP INTO HEAVEN’ to the top with a leaf and berry design border, all within a moulded wooden frame.
The separate stained glass panels can be removed from the boxes if required and also the three separate light boxes could be hung separately if required.
This triptych is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home etc. – this would make a stunning statement to any wall space.
All three boxes in working order but before use would need to be checked and fitted by a qualified electrician by purchaser.
