Lead Set Appraisal

Set of Three Antique/Vintage Leaded and Stained Glass Window Panels

This lot consists of three antique or vintage stained-glass and leaded-glass window panels, likely originally transom windows or decorative inserts. Each panel features a distinct design, encased within a wooden frame of what appears to be oak or a similar hardwood, exhibiting a natural, possibly varnished, finish that has darkened with age. The frames show signs of wear consistent with their age and previous installation, including surface scratches, minor dings, and some loss of finish, revealing the underlying wood. The glass elements vary; two end panels feature predominantly clear, possibly beveled, glass with diamond and oval shapes creating geometric patterns, joined by lead cames. The central and largest panel incorporates amber-toned or lightly tinted glass in an oval pattern, alongside clear rectangular and diamond-shaped panes, also held together by lead cames. The lead lines in all panels exhibit typical oxidation and slight bending in places, indicating their age and hand-assembled nature. Some dust and dirt are visible on the glass and within the lead channels, but no immediate cracks or significant breaks are discernible in the glass from the image. The craftsmanship suggests a period between the late 19th century and early 20th century, consistent with Victorian or Arts and Crafts architectural styles. The overall condition is good for age but shows appropriate patina and surface wear. These panels would have been high-quality decorative elements in a period home, showcasing skilled leaded and possibly stained glass artistry. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures.
