Architecture Of The 15th Century - Small Tower Window, Cavet Molding

Architecture 15th Century Framing of one of the windows of a small manor, circa 1500/1550

Room that can form a pendant with several of our other openings from the 15th and 16th centuries.

The source is a ruined Renaissance period house near Langres in Haute Marne.

Carefully dismantled by us, this hard limestone window frame has a beveled cavet molding, typical of the 15th century.
The particularly high height of the support reveals the care taken in a solid and durable construction.
The rusticity of this centuries-old use was partially hidden by the lime coatings on the facade.
This low window was armed with solid defensive bars well anchored in the stone.

Frost and rust have caused the limestone to burst, although it is solid (see photo).
Our workshop will repair this breakage before delivery.

The slight thickness of this stone facing makes it possible to consider its installation in a thin wall,
unlike the usual opening frames which are always quite substantial.

Opening 43 cm high and 48 cm wide.
The whole measures 114 cm in overall height and 68 cm in overall width.
The depth is to be inserted into a wall of at least 30/40 cm.

Of course ! Assembly recommended, even required and essential by ethics... with lime!!

All the disassembled parts weigh around a hundred kilos and can easily be loaded into a car trunk.
