Thank you.              THIS ITEM IS FOR PICK UP ONLY BY PROFESSIONAL MOVERS BUYER IS TO MAKE SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS AT OWN EXPENSE AND RISK                                             Ascending Christ  Stained Glass Church Door DIMENSIONS AND ART DESCRIPTION:  This is what I was told about this breathtaking piece: It is  from  a church in Pennsylvania which fell  victim of vandalism. This piece was removed to rescue it from potential vandals. I can make no certain claim as to its actual age but it is believed  to be early 1900's. Though  looks like a window,  this is a huge stained glass  door with the  hinges  still on the side.  It’s over  7 feet tall, 90” to be exact , and over four feet wide, 54 and 1/2” , including the wood frame. The wood frame itself is about 5and1/4 wide.  It’s a stunning, ornate perfectly refinished, shining  wood. See photo. Though the shine may be just the reflection of the Light of Christ(!). The picture is the defining instance of the true, original concept of stained glass, i.e. it is painted glass.  Considering age, it is in excellent  condition without any cracks.  There is an area of  color change in the red robe over the right knee as seen on the photos. This may be a sign of restauration of color. Two small  spots of  missing paint, only visible on close inspection. Though these spots are truly insignificant in the grand scheme of this stunning piece. This door weighs a ton or at least feels like it. You will need some serious and expert movers to secure safe transportation. A job not to be taken lightly. For this is truly  both a sacred and historic item.
