PARROT & AQUARIUM LEADED GLASS WINDOW.

PARROT & AQUARIUM LEADED GLASS WINDOW. Exceptional leaded glass window has two magnificent parrots with drapery glass tail feathers and wings on each side of a plated aquarium with enameled fish and crayfish. The background glass is a very dark blue striated glass and the aquarium is plated with two layers. The window comes with a photocopy of the original invoice when the window was purchased in 1928 from J. Horace Rudy of York, Pennsylvania. The window was sold to a Mr. Howard Z. Fisher of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The window is also accompanied by a letter from Mr. Rudy stating that the window was made 30 years earlier and that the glass of which it is constructed was produced by Louis Heidt and John Dannenhaffer; two Alsatian Frenchmen who were considered the best glass makers in this country at that time. The verbal family history on the window is that it was displayed at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, however there is no documentation to support this fact. With the quality of the glass and workmanship and assuming the Exposition history could be true, it is quite possible the window was done by John Lafarge. SIZE: 26″ x 45″. CONDITION: Very good to excellent with a few tight hairlines. 5-69668 (3,000-5,000)

Auction: Lamp & Glass - Fall 2009

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
