Overall very good condition. The windows with some light surface soiling concentrated to the contours adjacent to the cames. The glass with some occasional air bubbles which are inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The glass with a few occasional extremely minor clamshell chips, consistent with age and use. The came with some minor bending and traces of corrosion consistent with age, and with some traces of black paint which extends slightly onto the glass. The panels each with some very minor bowing. The windows are a pair and appear to retain their original painted wood frames, which are in very good condition with expected minor wear. A beautiful pair of windows in very good original condition.
