Vintage Industrial Steel-Frame Window with Seeded Leaded Glass and Hand-Painted Medallions

A striking salvaged industrial steel-frame window composed of 24 individual leaded panes of authentic seeded glass. This piece features two unique hand-painted medallions—one circular with heraldic inspiration, the other a geometric diamond—both reverse-painted and kiln-fired for permanence. The glass displays classic early-20th-century characteristics, including visible air bubbles and waviness. Five panes are missing and one is cracked, offering both an authentic aged aesthetic and a restoration opportunity. Housed in a robust welded steel frame, the panel is ideal for use in architectural salvage projects, interior partitions, garden walls, or adaptive reuse.
