Stained glass window

Hi all,

Came across this glass window in an antique shop in southern Ireland which i was in for the first time.

It cought my eye and am wondering where and when it might have been made.

Am thinking it may have been for a public house but that just a guess.

Thanks for any comments

 

would look nice at an Inn....

painted glass..... not stained glass ..imo

 

Painted as above. And doesn't look terribly old.

Debora

 

interesting though...that the frame looks like it's from the 60's or earlier ....
u can't fake that caulking wear....

 

Yea i thought it had a bit of age too looking at the frame.

 

I love it. Very fun to look at what everyone is doing in the scene.

 

can't figure out whats going on in the pic

 

food , drink , & revelry !

 

It’s very much in the tradition and style of our thirties and forties theatre poster art. I’ve rather a lot of that. I suspect it came from a baker or such rather than a pub, although those are often one and the same in Ireland.

 

we obviously have a different vision of revelry

there's a man firing arrows at something and possible flames from the loft.


these are unstained glass windows of which there a still many in the uk,

 

I actually thought the man on the right was moving a leather arm chair !! oops


if you type leaded windows into our friend google ....

 

The two men carrying bowls of food are taken from Pieter Brueghel's "The Peasant Wedding":



The other parts of the scene are parts of Brueghel paintings as well. I recognise parts from his "Dutch Sayings" painting.
