<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Robski, post: 3904777, member: 7369&quot;]Greetings All</p><p><br /></p><p>Picked this up at a Detroit Auction a little while back from the collection of Michigan Senator Jack Faxon.&nbsp; It is a 18x13&quot; hand painted stained glass window that appears to be German with an inscriptions &quot;DIE-STAT-BAD&quot; and 1642.&nbsp; Anyone have any idea what that means??</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there is a monogram in the lower right and appears to be &quot;CVE&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps it is 19th century?</p><p><br /></p><p>It has been re-leaded at some point and is housed in a very nice custom light box.&nbsp; It was placed in Jack Faxon&#039;s gorgeous living room originally (see picture below). </p><p><br /></p><p>The glass is of different thicknesses and shows a fair amount of wear.&nbsp; The green coloured sections are twice as thick as the other sections.&nbsp; There are a lot of repaired cracks and a few newer cracks.&nbsp; The thin clear glass outer border is modern and has been added when it was re-leaded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing is printed and it all is hand painted under the microscope.&nbsp; Some of the detail is scratched into the paint layers.&nbsp; The amount of detail is astounding at that scale.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have installed it in my living room and I love looking at it at night.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any ideas about where and when this was made?</p><p><br /></p><p>Best Regards</p><p>Rob</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]321071[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321077[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321081[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321082[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321083[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
