Doyle's New York, June 7, 2006, lot 2647
Condition
Overall in very good condition, with only two cracks reserved to the clear glass tiles. With traces of light surface soiling, and some minor surface discoloration to the zinc caming. The window is structurally sound, and retains its original painted wood frame (not illustrated in the catalogue), which shows expected wear and some scattered losses to the painted surfaces, and eight old small nail holes evenly spaced around the sides of the interior wood framing. With one small loss to the wood frame adjacent to the top right corner of the interior framing (approximately 1 3/4 x 1/4 inch). The window presents beautifully with great presence, displaying a strong graphic composition. This window is accompanied by a custom-designed light box, as well as a custom-designed oak mount ideal for installing the panel on a window sill or pedestal.
