Small Window Frame - XVIth Century Period - Circa 1520/1550

Beautiful window frame from the 16th century, circa 1520/1550
Piece that could form a counterpart to our other reference n° 1325332
The source is a ruined Renaissance period house near Troyes in Champagne.
Carefully dismantled by us, this hard limestone window frame presents a chamfered molding typical of the first half of the 16th century.
The diagonal splaying of the interior sides is characteristic of this period when small openings retained heat inside the home while allowing maximum exterior light to enter.
When the whole thing is installed, it is quite remarkable to see how this type of opening with a slanted angle opening towards the inside diffuses daylight very widely, whereas our current windows limit the light to the rectangle of opening and retains the widest diffusion of daylight in the room.
This discreet and charming piece of architecture from the late medieval period will perfectly adorn a lime-jointed rubble wall.
The ocher patina of the stone worn from 4 centuries of use will harmonize perfectly with interior lime coatings enhanced with natural pigments.

Opening 40 cm high and 30 cm wide.
The whole thing measures 76 cm in overall height and 62 cm in overall width.
The depth is to be inserted into a wall of at least 50 cm.

Of course ! Assembly recommended, even required and essential by ethics... with lime!!
All the disassembled parts weigh less than a hundred kilos and can easily be loaded into a car trunk.
