OFFERS : UPDATED 20/07/2006 - LARGE STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
The windows were salvaged from a private chapel constructed in 1935 for the Poor Sisters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul at a convent / hospital they ran just South of Edinburgh. The chapel was used regularly for over 60 years and was one of the locations in Scotland where the late Pope John Paul 11 celebrated mass during his visit in 1982.
The hospital closed in 1999 and the chapel was deconsecrated. The purchaser of the buildings wished to demolish the chapel and several other outbuildings and we negotiated the architectural salvage of the building and its contents. We have used several of the windows in our own building project and are delighted with the aesthetics they help to achieve.
There are 8 windows in total (4 "Small" and 4 large)
The large windows Measure - Height: 3350mm (132'' or 11') - Width: 1170 mm (46'' or 3' 10'')
The "Small" windows measure - Height 2850 mm (112'' or 9' 4'') - Width: 1170 mm (46'' or 3'10'')
They have no religious characteristics and are simply comprised of geometric shapes of various colours typical of the period.
All windows are in excellent condition, all glass is original with no evident cracking. The leadwork is in pristine condition and again all original.
The windows are encased in a cast iron frame which has been painted white on the outside. The window frame is constructed from mahogany (or a very similar hardwood) and is in very good condition with no evidence of rot or damage.
We are willing to sell these windows individually but naturally be pleased if they were to be sold together.
The height of these windows can easily be altered as we have done this with several of them already
