Does Anyone Have Any Insight On These Stained Glass Window Panels?

We acquired two stained glass window panels that the previous owner had fit into custom made interior doors. When she originally purchased the panels, she was told they came out of a church in the Netherlands and were from the 14th or 15th century. I have never seen stained glass like this before so am curious if anyone has any idea if they are authentic or their origin or value. Each panel measures approximately 11" x 36" and the colours are speckled with brown...almost as if the colour has been painted on? They are in very good condition. Any insight is very much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

 

It does look like its painted,I would think more victorian in age.I could be wrong.

 

14th or 15th century would make them Medieval. Yours appears to be Victorian but impossible to tell because you've only posted fragments.

Thanks Debora! The first image is one of the panels in its entirety and the second image is a close up to show detail. If Victorian do you think they would still could have come out of a church seeing as they do not depict religious imagery?

 

I don't think a church. I'd say a wealthy home.

 

They're secular. Would have come out of a (wealthy) home.

Unlike any church stained windows I have seen. I would not be surprised to find that they are newer than Victorian.

 

Hmmm, I'm not so sure that I would "dismiss" the stained glass windows as being "not religious."

The white flower (rose) is a symbol of "purity" (Virgin Mary).

And, perhaps more to the question of secular or religious, there are two apples (albeit "yellow" apples) in one panel (think Garden of Eden).

And there are two hands each holding a loaf of bread (think "the Last Supper") and holy communion (in commemoration of the Last Supper).

 

Hi,
The white five petaled white rose is a symbol of Mary. Two yellow apples have nothing to do with Adam and Eve. I think you are putting too much effort. None of these things have anything to do with religion. I had a new window made for the burned church in Brooklyn with the "sprayed" decoration as seen on these panels.
The original window was done in 1912. The only thing added was a rosary bead decoration around the edge of the window since it was in the Mary Chapel.
