Old church window shutters

Hi, i wonder if you could help me. I bought these window shutters today, i have two of them. They came from a local church. i think they are etched/frosted?. They are old. I hoped you may enlighten me as to how old they maybe and what they may be worth. The glass panes measure approximately 95cm x 29cm. Thank you.

 

I've never seen window shutters made with glass panels. "Shutters" are normally on the outside of the window (where I come from) and glass would be too fragile. Not to mention that the decor on these panels is very modern.

Nor do they look "churchy." Did you get them at a church rummage sale?

 

Totally agree with Bakers on all points.

 

Hi thanks for responding. They have come from a church. They still had a couple up and are fixed on the inside. I’m posting this thread from England. I was thinking that the glass panels may be 70s and the frames are definitely older.

 

I also got an 80s vibe from the decoration. They are very pretty,I could think of a few uses.

 

Hi, How would you place them? They are just a tad short for dressing screens.

 

You say you have 2 - as in 2 sets of 2? Some people put screens like this across a corner of a room to soften the angularity.

 

Hi,yes i have another one like you see in the pictures. would you paint the wood??

 

I am looking to sell them also. How much would be a fair price do you think?

 

Well, advice about painting the wood and fair price need to come from a member familiar with the British market. I'm several thousand miles away.

 

I know lol, but i could take a guess from this side of the pond from what you would think was a fair price your side, if that makes sense lol

 

It isn't just calculating the currency. Markets vary from country to country and even within a country.
They are very pretty, btw.

 

If planning to sell, I would not paint them. Leave that to the buyer.

 

Thank you, i do try and keep up but have never had anything like these. They spoke to me, i thought they were pretty and got a nice feeling from them.

 

Good point. thank you.
