Where can I sell 2 HUGE arts and crafts/mission stained glass windows?
<br>
<br>These two windows are from a long gone school in Pennsylvannia and are way too big for us. Anybody have any ideas where I could sell these? I thought of Ebay but I think shipping costs would be too expensive for most people. Help! They are so absolutely gorgous I hate to see them just sitting in my basement. And in case you're wondering we live in northern Virgina.
<br>
<br>Thank you so much for your help.

Sounds to me like they would make a gorgeous divider wall in a newly built craftsman style home. Maybe you could check with local architects and see if any of their clients has interest in incorporating them into the design of a new home.

How big, exactly, is "HUGE?" I have one window that is 7X12 feet. That huge? I might be able to use another. Can you post a picture?

Hi Eric. Overall, they are 52" wide by 92" high. The leaded glass window portion is about 43" x 82". They are encased in two wooden cases – an outer window frame and the inside frame. The inside frame opens on the outer frame with hinges, I guess they weren't stationary windows. I don't know a whole lot about them. The design is a classic arrow tail feather design (more mission than arts&crafts) made from ambers, browns, some swirled with ivory and such. The glasses range from deeply textured and opaque to fairly translucent. Many of the glasses I've never seen before. Do you know much about windows? If so, I'd love to hear what you can tell me. They are stunning.

<br>>How big are they, and why do they look like?

They sound amazing, and if I had a way to use them, I would buy them from you, but I don't.

Hi everyone. We were able to take a few basic photos of the windows and you can view them at:

<br>And the idea about using them as room dividers is great! We hadn't thought of that. But our basement is years from being done.
<br>
<br>>Can you post a picture or provide a link?

There is an architectural salvage shop in Washington DC called The Brass Knob that I'm sure would take them off your hands and pick them up so shipping wouldn't be an issue. Of course, they'll resell them for twice what they pay you for them, but at least they'd go to a good home, I suppose.
