AW says: That’s a stunning set of windows. There is value in the fact that they are a matched set, in very good condition and are attractive and sizable. These were made by a very skilled craftsman.

The individual glass pieces are beveled with adds strength, and thus indicates very good quality. The minor damage that these have suffered should not affect value very much. 

The fact that this set has documented provenance is very nice as well.

Circa 1860-1880
