Antique Stained glass window - 1950-1960 - Dutch windmill

Stained glass panel with windmill – colorful landscape in a green surround

A mill that catches the light! This decorative stained glass panel combines a detailed mill scene with a bright green border and four sunny yellow corner pieces. The dark outlines of the sails stand out powerfully against the blue sky and white clouds, while warm browns and a red brick base give the scene character.

The scene invites close inspection: the wooden mill case, the lines of the sails, the stairs, and the green landscape are carefully depicted. The central image is painted on the glass; the surrounding colored glass pieces are separated from each other by lead profiles.

That combination of a glass picture and colored pieces in lead aligns with the stained glass tradition. The Victoria and Albert Museum describes how colored and painted glass is joined with lead strips to form a single panel. The exact decorative technique, maker, and dating of this piece have not been established.

For a window, the interplay of color and daylight comes into its own particularly beautifully. A atmospheric accent for a rural or classical interior, and an attractive object for lovers of mills and decorative glass art.

Shipping
Shipping only to destinations within the European Union and only via Catawiki Smart Shipping.

Shipping to countries outside the European Union is not available. Manual shipment outside the Smart Shipping procedure is not offered.

Shipping occurs only when Catawiki provides a regular Smart Shipping label for the buyer-specified delivery address within the normal EU shipping procedure.

If for a delivery address additional customs formalities, an EORI registration, tax registration, or any other additional seller registration are required and as a result a regular EU Smart Shipping label cannot be created, the order cannot be processed outside Smart Shipping. In that case the order must be evaluated and handled through Catawiki.

The item is carefully and solidly packed and shipped with tracking. The shipping costs also include packaging, packing materials, and handling of the shipment.

Pickup is only possible when the lot is auctioned for more than €50, by appointment and during office hours.
